The bench instructed the government to submit a report – signed by the prime minister – in this regard in four weeks. However, on Dec 9, 2021, the incumbent government sought three more weeks from the apex court to file a progress report in the case. It urged the top court that additional time should be granted so that a comprehensive report bearing the premier’s signature could be submitted. On the government's request, the SC on Dec 11 extended the deadline for the submission of the report by three weeks.
