Chief Justice of India, D.Y Chandrachud who was presiding over the hearings and listening, intervened to suggest to the Solicitor General to have an informal meeting with the petitioner's counsels, later in the week to discuss this new development and the Centre's panel. To beseech both sides to work together, CJI Chandrachud went on to name the counsels one by one.
In response to this, Senior Advocate Abhishek Singhvi, representing the petitioners told the court that having a meeting wasn't a problem, neither was offering up suggestions to which the new panel would apply their minds, as the Solicitor General had invited the petitioners to offer. As the opposing counself, Singhvi asserted that at the end of the day, this latest move was at best mere administrative tweaking, while legal tweaking was different matter altogether.
In addition to this, offering up the final word, Advocate Singhvi said, "Personally, I don't think your lordships will have any major solution. Having seen the gamut of problems, it is better that your lordships spend time to get to a solution". As a afternote, he added that he still welocmed this development, saying that "This can be in addition though".
