AKHTAR ALI VS Mst. TAJ MAHAL O. III, Rr. 9 & 10(b)---Chief Justice and Registrar of the Supreme Court---Power to fix cases for hearing---Scope---Power(s) to be exercised by the Chief Justice (of the Supreme Court) or the Registrar (in the matter of fixing cases for hearing) must advance the cause of justice, and not defeat it or undermine it---Cases in which interim orders were passed suspending judgments of the High Court which had held a law to violate Fundamental Rights and/or the Constitution were required to be decided as soon as was practicable, and this was only possible if they were fixed for hearing as early as possible---Supreme Court's independence, authority and public respect was undermined when such important cases were not fixed for hearing.
