The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to give an early hearing to a petition asking for stay on “Bharat Bandh” on August 20th called by CPI(M) against the nuclear deal. A three judge bench headed by Justice B N Agrawal told the petitioner that they should have come to the court earlier if they wanted a stay. The PIL which was mentioned on Tuesday asked the court to intervene in the matter as the calling for holding of and enforcing bandh by political parties organized bodies or associations were held violative of fundamental rights of the citizens in addition to causing material loss.

The court however refused to give an early hearing to the petition said that the matter would be heard in regular course. The case will come up on 29th of August now.
