The Supreme Court on Friday deferred hearing a plea seeking intervention for postponing the Union Budget presentation after March once the assembly elections in five states are over to January 20, saying at present it doesn't find any provision in support of plea.

The Supreme Court added that it required material and legal provisions in support of plea seeking postponement of budget presentation. 

"You (lawyer) tell us what provisions have been violated. Tentatively speaking, we don't find any material in support of the petition," a bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud said.
