The Supreme Court today granted the Centre more time to file its response in the challenge to the colonial-era sedition law. The top court said it will examine whether the pleas challenging its constitutional validity should be sent to a constitutional bench of seven judges. While hearing the matter today, a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana directed the petitioners to file responses by Saturday morning and ordered the Centre to file counter-affidavits by Monday morning. The matter will next be heard on Tuesday, May 10, at 2 pm.
