Justice Shah to Sr Adv Siddharth luthra : last time it was stated that you had personal difficulty. but then you appeared in Calcutta high court. so hc was more important than Supreme court. i take strong objection to take adjournment here. first priority has to be for SC

Luthra: We had circulated a fresh letter. when I learnt of this I was livid. Bar & Bench had carried the letter and thus I came to know

Luthra: Asaram Bapu is seriously ill and is in the hospital. Please have it next week. I have moved an application seeking the medical records

Luthra: let state place the current medical condition

Dr Manish Singhvi: this plea has become infructuous. he is hospitalised and he is serious. how can he be shifted to Uttarakhand now?

Dr Singhvi: June 4 order was notice to find out if asaram bapu can be transferred to Uttarakhand for ayurveda treatment. now this is infructuous. if he has a fresh cause of concern he can raise it in HC

Justice Shah: either you withdraw this and take liberty to approach the HC. This will be in your interest

Luthra: when we went to HC we made the same prayer but it was not entertained.

Justice Banerjee: we will adjourn it to after vacations
