Important cases heard in the Supreme Court on Thursday, March 23: * SC rejected the Supreme Court Bar Association’s plea to allot an entire tract of land, which was allotted to the apex court, for conversion into a chamber block for lawyers, saying that issues pertaining to the change of land use should be addressed on the administrative side.
* SC said it will set up a fresh five-judge Constitution bench at an “appropriate stage” to hear pleas challenging the constitutional validity of polygamy and ‘nikah halala’ among Muslims.
* SC told the Centre that being the main arbiter in water dispute between two states, it is required to play a more “pro-active role instead of being a mute spectator” and asked the Punjab and Haryana governments to hold discussions to resolve the Satluj-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal dispute. PTI SJK RHL
