Senior advocate Aditya Sondhi, the amicus curiae appointed by the court for this petition, submitted that information from a huge chunk of cases has to be compiled from the special courts and sought time.
Further, upon recording the submission, the Registrar was directed to submit the information by the next date of hearing.
