undertaken, the implications will have impact on all the States, in which case
perhaps it is desirable to put all the States on notice and matter be heard by a
Bench of appropriate strength. We, therefore, deem it appropriate to direct the
Registry to place the matter before Hon'ble the Chief Justice of India for
appropriate directions in the matter.
