While Sibal said he is involved in most of the matters and it would be impossible to prepare for such complicated issues in such a short time, Rohatgi had said generally as per convention, vacation matters are fixed with the consent of the Bar.Then the CJI said "if we do not sit during the vacation it will never happen”"What is the problem? I have been working during summer vacations last two years. In 2015 we heard NJAC during vacations. But well if you are not readyv I am only happy to enjoy my vacation", he said after which all lawyers agreed to the vacation schedule."We heard NJAC during a vacation and formed a time-frame. Ifa matter like NJAC can be heard during vacations then any matter can be heard" , said CJI Khehar."If you don't want us to hear it, we won't. Then these cases won't get heard for years. Then don't blame us. Don't say pending cases, arrears," the CJI said.Justice Khehar insisted that the benches will hear the three important cases side by side. "There shall be no change," he added.Read the Notice here.
