#SupremeCourt to hear plea shortly.

SG Mehta appears before Court.

SG: Now we dont have any bills pending before us. I will share a copy of the communication we have recieved. Two bills have been returned. Certain clarifications have been sought.

CJI: We will dispose it of at this stage, come back to us later..… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

CJI: Now we will dispose it of, there is nothing pending before the Governor...

Dave: In Gujarat 1 month, in MP, one week, it is happening in opposition states..

#SupremeCourtofIndia

Dave: It may be said that in the future, such things may not happen..

SG: that is not a very healthy thing tom ask for..

Dave: The governor is not the law..

#SupremeCourtofIndia

SG: I can give particular facts, should I show.. It will show no constitutional compliance.. of course shouting does not help

Dave: Mr Solicitor has stooped down to such depths.. this is unfair.. I have not seen this in 44 years of my career..

#SupremeCourtofIndia

#CJIChandrachud asks the counsels to calm down.

SC: Referring to Article 200 (1), it uses the phrase "as soon as possible", which has some constitutional significance and must be borne in mind by functionaries..

SG: This was not required.. I don't want to vitiate the atmosphere… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
