#SupremeCourt hearing a petition where the Counsel contends that it is a similar and connected matter to NAN scam in Chattisgarh.

Counsel submits the petitioner is being harassed by unconstitutional actions

Tapping his phones (of his daughter’s). IA was filed.
Court asks the cope of petition.
Counsel says, 3 FIRs filed alleging forgery

Petition states that the officer is being harassed by illegal #phonetapping
Court: Don’t run around in circles, just tell us, What is your submission for the petition seeking transfer of case to #CBI.

SA Kapil Sibal: Says the High Court said ‘no coercive strips will be taken you cooperate in the investigation’.
Reads why a subsequent application was made. Says his continuous absence before the Court was the reason. Therefore they requested to vacate the stay.

Court asks Counsel for the petitioner: Is it true that there was Interim protection granted by the High Court?
To which he said, yes.
Court asks why quashing of the FIR is not asked and instead transferring it to CBI is sought for.

Court sees the FIR.
Court: According to you what is the offence made out?

Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani says Forgery, Milords. According to them, Milords, not me!

Court decides to put both the petitions together.

SA Mahesh Jethmalani brings another.

Court lists the matter for a date after 9th November.
