On 8/03/2004, the Supreme Court heard the SLP challenging the Delhi High Court's 2001 judgment. The Court noted that the Union of India failed to bring the legal representatives of the deceased respondent (Devi Ram) on record despite repeated opportunities. The Court granted two weeks to file an application for substitution, warning that failure to do so would result in automatic dismissal of the SLP.
