The Delhi High Court on Friday deferred hearing on a petition filed by the Supreme Court challenging a Central Information Commission (CIC) order directing that assets of the judges should be made public.

Justice S Ravinder Bhat adjourned the matter and posted it for further hearing on March 17. The court, however, issued notice to contesting parties on an application filed by the Delhi High Court Bar Association seeking to be impleaded in the case and asked them to file their reply by the next date of hearing.
