Union government requests adjournment of hearing on a batch of petitions, Justice BV Nagarathna says ‘it’s very embarrassing for the court’

New Delhi: A five-judge constitution bench on Wednesday expressed displeasure over the Union government’s unparalleled request for adjourning the hearing on a batch of petitions challenging the demonetisation announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016.

“Normally, a constitution bench never adjourns like this. We never rise like this once we have started. It is very embarrassing for this court,” Justice B.V. Nagarathna remarked when attorney-general R. Venkataramani made the unusual statement at the commencement of the proceedings that the affidavit was not ready.

Tuesday was the sixth anniversary of the demonetisation announcement by Modi. By the time the constitution bench assembled on Wednesday, 2,192 days had passed since the recall of high-denomination notes was sprung on the country. No veteran associated with the court could recall another occasion when an adjournment had been sought before a constitution bench.

Usually, the Supreme Court benches sit in a combination of two judges and, at times, three judges. Only on matters relating to constitutional validity, a five-judge or a larger bench sits. Setting up a constitution bench is an arduous task as regular benches have to be shuffled, which affects the functioning of the court.

“My profuse apologies. We could not get the affidavit ready,” attorney-general Venkataramani told the court.

“We require a short indulgence of about a week. I would say that the affidavit we file will be useful for all of us to proceed in the case in some structured way. Otherwise, the course of action may be unnavigated. We will place it by next Wednesday or Thursday. I am deeply sorry for this delay,” Venkataramani added.

Senior advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for some of the petitioners, opposed the plea of the attorney-general. He said there was no precedent when an adjournment was sought before a constitution bench.
