The arguments of Mr. Thorat are in midway but remain to be concluded. We are also required to call upon the counsel for MCI, NMC, UOI and the learned Advocate General for further arguments.

In the wake of the Christmas Vacation from Saturday and tomorrow being the last date, we deem it appropriate to treat the proceedings as part-heard with liberty to the respective counsel to mention the same on re-opening for fixing of a date for hearing.
