Hearing begins.

Sr. Adv. Aabad Ponda submits to the Court that the chargesheet which has been filed in the matter has been submitted to the court.

He sought leave to amend the petition to challenge the chargesheet and then proceed for the hearing.
Ponda: I seek a short adjournment, we will amend the petition today.

Court: Will you file application?

Ponda: Milords may please grant me leave.
Sr. Adv. Kapil Sibal appearing for the State: He should file his amendment petition placing his grounds for challenging the chargesheet.

Goswami is an ordinary litigant, not an extra-ordinary citizen. Every matter of his cannot be fast tracked.
Sibal: We must also be given a chance to reply to the amended petition.

Court: Mr. Sibal when do you want the hearing? Is Dec 2 fine?

Sibal: Yes Milords.

Ponda: Yes Milords, no further arguments.
Court grants leave to Ponda to carry out the amendments by Friday.

Court: We have allowed the amendment subject to reply of the State and their contentions on the amendment.

Please keep a list of the several IAs listed.
Sibal: When will you list the matter?

Court: If we fix a time, then the other litigants say that we give fixed time only for certain matters.

Ponda: Milords considering Mr. Sibal is a Sr. Adv. in the Supreme Court, I respectfully ask for a fixed time in the afternoon.
Court: You are also busy Ponda, do not shift that on Mr. Sibal.

Ponda: Milords I would have loved to start the argument today. But since the chargesheet has been filed, I requested for an adjournment.
Sibal: Milords may I also request that the channel does not start a parallel trial on his channel.

Ponda: There are petitions being filed for that, I don’t think it is appropriate for a respondent to ask for this in my petition. Appropriate proceeding can be filed.
Court: File a 2-page application. Let Ponda reply to it. In fact only yesterday we recorded a statement that the petitioner will not comment on an FIR against her. (Referring to Kangana Ranaut’s hearing)

Ponda: I will put it to my clients, I will submit based on instructions.
Ponda: But nothing may be recorded now.

Court: Yes, do that.

Ponda: And whoever is present in the hearing may already have communicated, even I don’t need to tell him.

Court adjourns hearing of the matter on December 2. Takes on record the chargesheet and the progress report.
Hearing begins.

Sr. Adv. CS Vaidyanathan appearing for Hansa Research asks the court to continue the interim relief till the next hearing.

Court: Now the chargesheet has been filed, now they may not call you.
Vaidyanathan: I would still request that the matter be placed in the next week along with ARG plea and interim may continue.

Court: Last time, Mr. Kamat had made a statement. We don’t see him, but Mr. Thakare can you make that statement?
Sr. Adv. Sibal appearing for the State in ARG plea adds: I may not be in this matter, but then the chargesheet has been filed qua one charge. They may be called for more interrogation.

Court: So then let the interrogation go on in the same manner as in the previous order.
Kamat comes on VC: I will just take instructions, give me 5 mins.

Court: If you do not have instructions, then we will pass order.

Kamat: Then Milords may take the matter at the end of the board.

Court: Ok, then let us wait, because passing the order will cause problem to you.
Court: We have another petition listed where there are two senior counsels. (Referring to the Lawyer’s collective plea listed today)

But we will call the Hansa plea at 4.30 or 4.45. You take instructions till then.
