CJI: Dr Dhavan now, we are operating 50- 65... ... Aligarh Muslim University Minority Status: Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing [Day 8]

CJI: Dr Dhavan now, we are operating 50- 65 amendment, 69 yrs ago, do we strike down that amendment after a lapse of 60 years?

Dhavan : I am saying you could not have struck it down because of the alternative ratio.

CJI: Basha said it was not established by Muslim minority because it was established by Statutes....

Dhavan : if your lordships were to hold that the statutory intervention part of Basha is incorrect then some of these provisions are invasive

CJI: which means that we have to strike them down today, to uphold the argument. The problem is, I'll tell why, unless we do not strike these provisions down now, these provisions will operate on the statute book

Dhavan: I am not saying that you strike it down now. I am just saying its still a logic consequence
