Her petition is listed for hearing on Thursday before a bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices SA Bobde and SA Nazeer. Her advocate Aakarsh Kamra said the relief sought in the petition is similar to what CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury was granted by the apex court on 28 August to meet his ailing party colleague Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami. The apex court would on Thursday also peruse the affidavit filed by Yechury in a sealed cover about his visit and meeting with Tarigami on 29 August. The top court had allowed Yechury to visit and meet Tarigami under security with a condition that he would only discuss with him his health condition.
