A bench consisting of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar scheduled the plea for hearing during the week starting January 20, reported PTI.

In August last year, the top court had ordered the formation of a committee of three former women high court judges to oversee relief and rehabilitation of victims and compensation to them besides asking former Maharashtra police chief Dattatray Padsalgikar to monitor the probe in criminal cases.
