In the Supreme Court on Tuesday, Chief Justice of India HS Kapadia read out a one-line order to reject the petition of retired bureaucrat Ramesh Chand Tripathi, who had sought that the verdict be deferred and the matter be settled through reconciliation. Justice Kapadia said, “Having considered the detailed arguments advanced in this cases, we are of the view that the special leave petitions deserve to be dismissed.
The court heard arguments for over two-and-a-half hours before announcing its order. The decision of the three-judge bench – comprising Chief Justice Kapadia, Justice Aftab Alam and Justice KS Radhakrishnan – was unanimous.
The Centre has, meanwhile, appealed to people of the nation to keep calm once the judgement is announced. Both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi have issued appeals
