The bench, led by Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Viswanathan, has set a strict four-week deadline for the states to submit their counter-affidavits. The court warned that if the states fail to respond by the next hearing date, Chief Secretaries may be summoned to appear in person to explain the delay, with potential legal consequences.

The Registrar (Judicial) has been instructed to ensure timely communication of the order to the Chief Secretaries.
