DA Case Big Update: Supreme Court Forms Special Bench for Hearing on September 8!
DA Case Big Update: The wait is finally over. The hearing for the DA case in the Supreme Court has been scheduled for September 8th. A special bench has also been formed to hear this case, which further increases its significance. This case is extremely important for the government employees of West Bengal, as their receipt of dearness allowance depends on its verdict.
Formation of Special Bench and Case Details
With the consent of the Chief Justice of India, a special bench has been formed to reduce the case pressure after 2 PM on September 8th. This bench will sit in Court No. 11 and will comprise the Honorable Justice Sanjay Karol and the Honorable Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra. It is noteworthy that the request for this special bench was made by Mr. Kapil Sibal, which had previously caused some delay in the hearing. Only three cases have been listed after 2 PM, with the DA case being at number 303, following cases 301 and 302.
Reason for Potential Delay in Hearing
The case listed at number 302, just before the DA case, is a “part-heard matter.” This means that the hearing for this case has already begun and is unfinished. Generally, a new case is not taken up until such matters are concluded. Therefore, if the hearing for case number 302 takes a long time, the commencement of the DA case hearing might be delayed. This is undoubtedly a matter of concern for the case. However, with the formation of a special bench, it is hoped that the hearing will be completed on the same day.
Connected Cases and Next Steps
Three contempt of court cases are also linked with the main DA case. These cases will be heard simultaneously, which further complicates the matter. The lawyers for all parties are prepared to present their arguments. The hearing on September 8th could set a new direction for the state government employees. All eyes are now on the Supreme Court, where the fate of this crucial case will be decided. What progress is made in the hearing and what the final verdict will be, only time will tell. For now, all parties are waiting with bated breath.
