A bench headed by justice Surya Kant, who is Chief Justice of India (CJI) designate, posted the matter related to Kerala as the state cited urgency citing the local body elections that will overlap with the SIR exercise, leading to an “administrative impasse”.
“The cause you have taken has not been taken by other states,” the bench told Kerala government, represented by senior advocate Kapil Sibal who pointed out that “local body elections are scheduled on December 9 and 11.”
Sibal said the pending SIR matters related to Bihar, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal are listed for November 26 and 27. The court directed the Kerala state’s petition to be heard on that date.

Condemning the “misuse of the criminal justice machinery” in such instances, the court stressed that the law must be invoked only where genuine sexual violence or lack of free consent is evident.
