NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday extended the stay on its earlier verdict concerning the definition of the Aravalli Hills and directed that status quo be maintained until further orders.
A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant said that the interim direction — keeping in abeyance the earlier judgment prescribing a revised definition of the Aravalli Hills — would continue to operate.
The Bench, also comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi, reiterated the top court's proposal to constitute a specialised expert committee to assist it in examining all aspects of the matter relating to the Aravalli range.
