Mumbai | Monday | 19th March, 2018

Summary:

The state government pleader Purnima Kantharia submitted five points as terms of reference. The HC wanted to know all particulars including how many stenos and clerks would be assigned to the committee. “We want a concrete proposal as was directed earlier,’’ said the bench adding that Rebeiro’s counsel Sujay Kantawalla can also submit his inputs for the terms of reference.
