The relevant part of the order reads as under : “We have no doubt that the Committee will be able to decide within the time stipulated by the High Court, namely 17th November, 2004. If for any unavoidable reason, the Committee is not in a position to render its decision by the due date and there are some extreme hard cases, we permit the Managements in those hard cases to approach the Committee which would consider their request for enhancement of fee as interim measure till the final decision by the Committee. The decision would, of course, be on merits.” 2 2. The petitioners have approached this Court with a prayer that the Committee be directed to consider the case of the petitioners as expeditiously as possible. 3. We may note that there has been some delay, because the earlier Chairman Mr. Justice R.A. Jahagirdar resigned from the Committee for his personal reasons. Mr. Justice S.D. Pandit has taken over charge as a new Chair Person of the Committee. 4. We hope and trust that the matter shall be expeditiously disposed of by the Committee. No further directions are necessary. This petition is accordingly disposed of. 5. The petitioners undertake to appear before the Committee on 20th December, 2004. CHIEF JUSTICE DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD, J.
