A bench of Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued notice to Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar and DMRC chairperson D Thara, directing them to file counter-affidavits and a compliance report by October 13 while dispensing with their personal appearance for now.
