The #MadrasHighCourt is hearing the bunch of 50 pleas filed by the #RSS seeking permission for a state-wide route march in Tamil Nadu on November 6.

Senior counsel NL Rajah for RSS- Permission has been granted by the TN police for the march in only 3 out of the 50 districts we requested. This is in contempt of the court's order.

Senior counsel NR Elango for TN police- In 24 of the 50 locations, the commissioners of police felt it was not possible to grant permission. At 23 locations the SPs said the march can be allowed but only in a closed space or indoors.

Justice GK Ilanthiraiyan: How can a procession be conducted indoors?

Elango (for TN police): We take the RSS' rights very seriously but we also take the life and liberty of common citizens very seriously. This is the ground reality. This is not a matter fit for any politics.

Prabhakaran (for #RSS) - You are doing politics, sir.

Justice Ilanthiraiyan- The court will go through the state's intelligence report and pass orders on the contempt petition (filed by #RSS) vis-a-vis the 24 places where permission has been denied.

Supreme Court hears a transfer petition seeking transfer of family case on the grounds of convenience of the wife.

Counsel for the husband opposes plea: Her only ground is that she is a woman.

#SupremeCourt

Husband counsel: She is highly educated, she is perfectly fit and fine. She is a PhD holder. Why she needs someone to accompany her to Pune? Moreover, why does she need a person in her life who doesn't want to live with her?

#SupremeCourt

CJI UU Lalit: I quite see the forceful submission made by you.. unfortunately, the ethos which has developed in this court is.. convenience of the wife is paramount. Therefore, to say that wife can travel to Pune to Patiala, the same applies to husband as well.
