The two Advocates Sanjay Hegde and Sadhana Ramachandran were appointed by the court to play a constructive role as an interlocutors to persuade the protestors to move to an alternative site. Former Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah was also appointed for their assistance in talking to the protesters.
