A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam said it is aware about the prevailing situation and will pass direction if required. It also directed that a PIL pending in the Allahabad High Court be transferred to the apex court.

The Centre assured the bench that it is committed to provide all assistance to the state government.

The court after hearing the arguments of the Centre, state government and the petitioners listed the case for hearing on September 26.

The bench, which gave patient hearing to advocates,
