Luthra: I seek your Lordships indulgence to enlarge the scope of the notice, which was issued limited to the quantum of sentence.

Sr Adv P Chidambaram appearing for the respondent submits, the notice was issued over the limited issue of quantum of sentence an I'm open to argue.

Chidambaram: I would submit that the notice cannot be enlarged as the it was issued after hearing the parties.

J Khanwilkar: It was not issued after hearing the parties. The application has been filed we'll have to deal with it.

Chidambaram: That is my instruction, I have been served with this application yesterday, your Lordships then may not hear this today.

Chidambaram: I would request that your Lordships do not enlarge the scope and restrict the hearing to which the notice has been issued.

Justice SK Kaul: You file a reply, we won't deal with it without your assistance.

Kaul: We can proceed without a formal notice, whether an offence is there under Section 323 IPC.

Chidambaram: I would seek instruction whether Meena case applies.

Luthra: section 323 cannot lie.

Kaul- This will result into reopening of the whole case.
