Supreme Court holds special court on Sunday, stays DMK Bandh MIL/Agencies/TOI, Sep 30, 2007. New Delhi: September 30, 2007 - The Supreme Court on Sunday stayed a ruling DMK-sponsored bandh in Tamil Nadu on the Setusamudram project scheduled on Ist October, 2007. It is a rare occurrence that Supreme Court decided to hold court on Sunday to dispose of the AIADMK's petition since the petition could have become in fructuous if not decided before Monday. (IR Summary). After three hours of arguments on a petition filed by AIADMK, a Bench headed by Justice B N Aggarwal stayed the bandh called on Monday or on any other day. The AIADMK has filed the SLP, after the Madras High Court on Saturday declined to interfere with the party's plea for restraining the ruling combine from going ahead with the bandh call. The AIADMK in the SLP had contended that the proposed bandh was unconstitutional and violative of the apex court's directive on the issue. Seldom does the apex court take up for open hearing on any matter on Sundays and holidays unless the issue involved is of grave importance. The AIADMK has sought special hearing of its SLP on the plea that its petition would become infructous if no decision was taken before Sunday. Though it was a rare occurrence that Supreme Court held a court on Sunday, it was nationally important issue and the decision of the SC should be hailed, Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist, and Chairman, Academy of Krishna Philosocpy (Akriph) told the reporters.
