Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court stayed the Gauhati High Court's order requiring the personal appearance of certain government officials in a writ petition, allowing them to produce documents through designated officers or counsel instead. The Court acknowledged the urgency due to deteriorating coal stock and permitted the respondents to collect coal at December 2004 rates, contingent upon filing an indemnity bond. The Court urged the High Court to expedite the resolution of the writ petitions by March 15, 2005.
