Mr Justice Soumitra Pal also directed TML to reply to the State Government affidavit on July 12. Hearing on the matter would start from July 14.
TML advocate, Mr Samaradittya Pal, on Thursday presented the certified copy of the interim order by the Supreme Court, issued on Wednesday directing the Bengal government to stop Singur land distribution till the High Court decides on the matter.
