The apex court on February 7 had refused to stay the tabling of the Bill and referred to its earlier order of November 18, 2013, when it had said that it was premature at that time to entertain any petition relating to the opposition to the bifurcation of the state.
“We do not see any change in the stage between November 18, 2013 and today (February 7). So we decline to interfere at this stage,” the bench had said.
However, it had clarified that the averment made in the writ petitions are open to be entertained at an appropriate stage.
