"Though the court appeared in a mood to pass order the Bench ordered that the matter may be listed on a Tuesday in the month of July so that the matter could be finally heard. For details please call me up in the evening" ---- G. N. Sridharan

Dear Sridharan Sir,

     I admit I don't have even a passing acquaintance with Law and so was flummoxed by the words highlighted above and should be grateful if the difference between the two were explained / elucidated for the benefit of poor me.

     Thanks, regards and pranam.
