Hearing was done by the High Court bench constituting of Justice Indrjit Mohanty and Justice Biswanath Mohapatra. It is expected that the High Court will announce its verdict within two weeks.
Senior Supreme Court lawyer, Abhisek Manu Singhvi on behalf of Tata has argued that the issue is in between the lease holder (Tisco) and the lease provider (the state government). So, the state government may take a call for the renewal issue and there is no role of a third party.

Senior SC lawyer, Salman Khurshid also presented the case on behalf of JSL.
