The Supreme Court directs the Aravalli expert panel to complete its report by November 30 and rejects the panel’s plea for a six-month extension. The court tells the committee to “work day and night” and to engage with all relevant stakeholders before finalizing its recommendations.
The chief justice also asks the panel whether it is waiting for him to retire, according to one account, underscoring the court’s insistence on timely delivery. The court indicates that if the panel does not meet the deadline, it will reconstitute the panel. A further hearing is scheduled for December 2.
While both reports describe the same core directions and deadline, they differ slightly in emphasis: one focuses on the court’s rejection of the extension and the prospect of reconstitution, while the other highlights the chief justice’s remarks to the panel about completing the work promptly.
