Whereas by a letter dated May 6th, 1957, a certified true copy of which was
transmitted the same day to the Agent for the Government of the Republic of
India, the Agent for the Government of the Republic of Portugal, referring
in particular to the unusual length of the document raising the Preliminary
Objections, requested an extension of this time-limit ;
Whereas by a letter of May 16th, 1957, the Agent for the Government of the
Republic of India stated that his Government, while not accepting the
correctness of the reasons put forward for the request for extension, had no
objection thereto;
The Court
Extends to August 15th, 1957, the time-limit for the filing of the
Observations and Submissions of the Government of the Republic of Portugal
in regard to the Objections raised by the Government of the Republic of
India.

hundred and fifty-seven, in three copies, one of which will be placed in the
