SG: Central government didn't get time. Your Lordship need not clarify anything on that.

It doesn't gel with us if we keep the matter pending.
You're under instruction, I understand. It's not easy doing a solicitor's job.
Gonsalves starts again.
Gonsalves refers to some submissions by Government of India.
J: Let's be a little fair to SG, he said we are not standing for or against this provision. He says he needs sufficient time. It's not correct to catch on to this affidavit.

BREAKING: The District and Sessions Court, Haridwar has granted bail to Yati Narsinghanand, the head priest of Dasna Devi temple (Uttar Pradesh) in 'Haridwar Dharam Sansad' alleged hate speech case. @ISalilTiwari reports lawbeat.in/top-stories/br…
Note: Some News portals have incorrectly reported that Narsinghanand has been granted bail in a case registered u/s 295,509,323,504, and 153A of the Indian Penal Code.
In the instant case, he was arrested only for offences u/s 153A and 295A.
Important observations by the court: 1. The court has noted that the prosecution itself has accepted that the informant in the instant matter, Gulbahar Khan, was not present at the Dharm Sansad. He filed a case only on the basis of a video he saw on Facebook.
