Sankarnarayanan: How Article 367 is being misused here- everything in 368(2) which needs half states to give consent, they can do by 367! Just say that this provision would read as this.

Sankarnarayanan: That is what they've side stepped. And they've done it in the Constitution which is why it is shocking! This is not some order by the executive. This is a constitutional amendment you bought.

Sankarnarayanan: There is a meeting of minds. There has to be some basic meeting of minds - as with the RBI in the demonitisation case, as between the collegium and the government- that meeting of mind doesn't mean your mind meeting your own mind.

Sankarnarayanan refers to other "temporary" provisions in the Constitution.

Sankarnarayanan refers to Gulzarilal Nanda's statement.

Sankarnarayanan: The reason is that there is a legitimate way and they know what that way is.

Justice Kaul: You only have to tell if what they did was correct or not. You don't have to give the solution.

2023-08-23 10:08 GMT

Sankarnarayanan: 370(1)(d) was the only way they could have abrogated. What they would have to do is- 1. They would have to get rid of proviso under Art 368.
