"The Supreme Court Registry may give an early date of hearing," a bench comprising Justices A R Dave and L Nageswara Rao said when senior advocate and JKNPP leader mentioned the matter seeking its hearing.
"The petition has now been listed for hearing in December. Whole of Kashmir is on fire. I am seeking early hearing," Singh said.
The apex court, on August 26, had said that Singh may visit Srinagar to assess the "ground reality" there.
The bench had also directed solicitor general Ranjit Kumar to arrange for the visit of the activist lawyer and allow him to meet local people, divisional commissioner and deputy commissioner, so that he can assess the situation by himself and submit a report.
Earlier, the apex court had said that the ongoing trouble in Kashmir should be "dealt with politically" as everything cannot be managed within judicial parameters.
Bhim Singh's petition had said that due to the use of pellet guns by the security forces, people were being blinded and there was a shortage of medicines and medical facilities available to the citizens.
His plea had said that Governor's rule under section 92 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir should be imposed and had sought a direction to the Governor to dissolve the Assembly, claiming it "has failed to discharge its duties and functions".
