NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on April 20 adjourned till May 3 the hearing on pleas challenging the amended law allowing extension of up to five years for the Director of Enforcement Directorate (ED).
A three-judge Bench of Justices BR Gavai, VikramNath and Sanjay Karol deferred the matter after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta sought adjournment on grounds that he was busy in the constitution bench hearing on the issue of legalisation of same-sex marriage.
“Mr Solicitor, you make some alternative arrangements. We can’t keep the matter adjourning like this. Make some arrangements. We don’t want any impression to be carried that the government is unnecessarily delaying,” the Bench said.
