Further the bench said, “When we heard the matter on September 14, we recorded the submission of the additional solicitor general that nothing will happen as apprehended by the petitioners, as the apprehension of the petitioners was that notification under section 3D of the National Highways Act would be issued. Hence as we have commenced hearing of the petitions, we deem it appropriate that the statement made by the Additional Solicitor General which was placed on record on September 14 shall continue under section 3A (1) of the National Highways Act until further orders.”
