When the attorney general appealed for more time on Monday, Chief Justice Sinha said, "Please keep in mind that the attorney general is a bridge between the government and the chief justice." Law Minister Anisul Huq, after a meeting with the chief justice at the Supreme Court on Sunday, said the government would publish the gazette by Thursday. He also said he would sit with the chief justice again on Thursday afternoon. The Appeals Division then gave Attorney General Alam a deadline to publish the gazette by Jan 15. Since then the Supreme Court has extended the time for the government to issue the gazette several times.
