A Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat and L S Panta asked Solicitor General G E Vahanvati and senior advocate Harish Salve to compile the various questions put forward by various contesting parties to be considered by the larger bench.

The court said since there is overlapping of points on the questions formulated by the contesting parties, the Solicitor General and Salve will sit together to make a compilation of it and place it before the court tomorrow.
