The Supreme Court today sought the appearence of Attorney-General or any law officer of the Centre nominated by him during the next hearing of the petition filed by former MLAs of Bihar challenging the dissolution of the Assembly .

A bench comprising Justice P.V. Reddi and Justice Arijit Pasayat also fixed June 10 for hearing the petition filed by four former MLAs — Rameshwar Prasad Chaurasia (BJP), Kishore Kumar Munna (IND), Rampravesh Rai (JD-U) and Dr Anil Kumar (breakaway LJP).

The MLAs, elected this year, accused the UPA of subverting democratic norms at the behest of RJD chief Laloo Prasad Yadav to prevent JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar from forming the government.

Since no one appeared for the Centre for the hearing, the bench asked senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the former MLAs, to serve a copy of the petition to the AG or any law officer of the Centre. The petitioners have also named Governor Buta Singh as a respondent, for which the Bench sought clarification from Rohatgi.

The sixth round of talks will focus on recognising India's red lines and possibly increasing energy purchases from the US. Other topics include easing patent rules, data flows, and giving US firms procurement access.
