The bench has listed the matter for further hearing on November 24.

The bench was hearing the submissions made by senior counsel Jayant Mehta, who stated that the committee had issued a notice to the petitioner for an inquiry to ascertain the authenticity of Fansi Ghar.

The notice was issued after due deliberation by the members of the legislative assembly. It was neither a summons nor a coercive action.
