2018: The SC rejects all interim pleas. Advocate Rajeev Dhavan files plea in the court requesting it to refer the issue of reconsideration of its 1994 judgement to a larger bench which is denied. The court forms a three-bench judge to hear the case.

January 2019: A five-judge Constitutional Bench is constituted by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi to hear the case .
