Following this submission, the Bench granted permission to the government to issue notification for extension of deadline by modifying its May 21 interim order, in which the court had directed that “the State would not take any further precipitative steps/action/decision in the matter relating to and regarding fixation of HSRP to vehicles till June 12.”
