#DelhiRiots @DelhiPolice
Justice SK Kaul:Adjourned as per the letter circulated.

Sr Adv Kapil Sibal: charge sheet runs into 20,000 pages and i don't have the werewithal to get it printed. these are young people. Let the pendrive be filed so that we can refer to it

#SupremeCourt
Justice Kaul: Who was appearing for NCT of Delhi?

SG Tushar Mehta: i am appearing

Justice Kaul: what is your grievance grant of bail or observations? you want them in custody?
Prima facie in bail matter may be all these need not be examined but ultimately all these are observations: Justice Kaul

SG: Your observations will go a long way too, please hear us first
SG: This is not a political matter

Justice Kaul: you are making us say all this. You are not letting me speak. I am saying something but you are not willing to listen. I am trying to segregate the case. One is bail and one is observations. so i want to know what is troubling
SG Tushar Mehta: we are on both the points and we will persuade you on both the points.

Justice Kaul: adjournment request has been made for 4 weeks. charge sheet runs into 20,000 pages. They may be permitted to file a pendrive on the point of cancellation of bail
Justice Hemant Gupta: its on both

Justice Kaul: one is legal position, one is factual position. I am on the factual position. I may have a different point on the observations
Matter adjourned after 4 weeks

#supremecourt #delhiriots #uapa
SG: i did something impossible. I have managed to get your lordships angry

Justice Kaul: its not that. I feel you cannot delete provisions of a law while dealing a bail matter but its needed to segregate the matter into bail and the observations made. now time is limited
Justice Kaul: bail proceedigns were not in the nature of final adjudicatory proceedings. prima facie call has to be taken whether bail has to be granted or not.

SG Mehta: I cannot agree more
Justice Kaul: this has troubled us many times. bail matters are heard at length in trial, hc and here. you can't do it here. we only propose to hear this matter for only couple of hours.
Justice Kaul: one thing can be said that provisions of the Act are not to be debated in this manner

ASG Aman Lekhi: this is what we want to submit
