Supreme Court may constitute special bench during Dussehra break to hear Vijayan's plea

The Supreme Court is likely to set up a special bench during the Dussehra break to hear a plea from an 80-plus leader, after senior advocate Sidharth Luthra sought an urgent hearing in the matter.

Luthra cited the leader's apprehension of arrest as grounds for the expedited hearing. The request came before the court during a regular hearing session.

The details of the underlying case and the specific relief sought in the plea were not immediately disclosed. The court's decision to constitute a special bench during the festival break indicates the matter's urgency and sensitivity.
