Sr Adv Sanjay Hegde: I am for the fruit seller in Jahangirpuri in whose matter it first reached here. I only urge that it be listed today along with this and tagged.
SC: Okay. Did you tell the other side?
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta: I am appearing for three States including Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Very dispassionately I will give my suggestions, UP has in fact shown the way.
SC: But can being criminal accused be a ground?
SG: No absolutely not. Even for heinous crimes like rape or terrorism. Like my lord said it cannot also be that notice issued stuck one day before, it has to be in advance. Town planning authorities have that provision, lordships may say written be given by registered post so this pasting business stops and it gives 10 days time from date of receipt.
