As early as 9:00 am when the court was expected to commence sitting, supporters and counsels to parties in the suit had started thronging the court premises.
The court room was quickly filled to capacity while the overflow milled around the premises curiously waiting the arrival of the judges.
But two hours after there was an air of anxiety and discomfort among the curious crowd of supporters on what could be the reason behind the non availability of the tribunal members.
