The bench took serious note of the submission of senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for one of the parties, that the appeals be heard in July 2019 after completion of the next Lok Sabha polls as the atmosphere at present was not conducive.
The apex court said the parties in the matter should be ready to start the hearing on the appeals which are before it.
Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, representing the Muslim parties in the case, tore up a pictorial map.
The apex court directed that the proceedings of the floor test should be video-graphed. The President's rule, imposed on the state on March 27, was suspended for the proceedings of floor test.
