The apex court bench headed by Justice J Chelameswar while declining, for now, referred a batch of petitions seeking clarification/modification of the 11 August order to the larger bench, saying that the main matter has been referred to the larger bench so the application seeking relaxation of the order too should be referred to it.

The court directed the registry to put all the applications seeking clarification/modification before Chief Justice HL Dattu for appropriate order.
