#SupremeCourt to shortly hear a plea seeking to set aside a Allahabad High Court order which held that #conversions just for the sake of marriage are invalid. Plea seeks immediate direction for providing police protection to the couple whose petition was dismissed

Advocate Aldanish Rein argues: Your lordship can declare the observations made by HC invalid

CJI: unless we make the order of the HC subject to our jurisdiction. If you want substantial relief go to the HC if you don't succeed come here

SC: In 1977 the court had held that if you are not a party then you can file a SLP under 136 but an Article 32 petition does not lie in this case

Advocate Rein: In 1967, the court had decided that when a collateral matter arise the court may interfere. In extraordinary circumstance you can declare the order passed as I correct.

Advocate Rein: This triggered UP to pass an ordinance. 100s of couples have been harassed in the last one month under this new law

CJI: you are preventing yourself from taking the correct remedy

SC: what is the date of the imlugbed order

Adv: Its September 23

SC: Any division bench orders passed ?

Adv: Division bench has said its bad in law but no relief for the petitioners

SC: Once HC has said its bad in law you want Supreme Court to also consider it

SC: it is accepted that HC order has been set aside as bad in law. We see no reason to interfere
