Fresh SLP filed by LIC not numbered yet !

The Supreme court website cites the defect of the SLP filed by LIC as the SLP is not supported by the required affidavit properly attested and identified.  Normally an SLP petitioner would be anxious to know the SLP No. and would visit the S.C. Registry and such defects are normally corrected within 2/3 days after filing the SLP.

It is a week and still LIC has not corrected this simple defect. The delay appears deliberate.  One purpose may be to await the outcome of today's Chandigarh High Court SLP where LIC reportedly sought stay of the judgment which is  not granted. Similarly Jaipur HC judgment is also not stayed by S.C.

Hope atleast now LIC will rectify the defect and pave way for quick disposal of the fresh SLP.
