CJ : Read your prayers.
Kulkarni reads.
Chief Justice : You want a declaration that whatever uniform has prescribed they shall wear that uniform. Your prayers are contradictory.
CJ : What is your relief?
Kulkarni : Interim relief I am claiming is that pass an order to let Muslim girls sport Hijab at least on Friday, on Juma day, most auspicious day for Muslims and the holy month of Ramzan, which is coming soon.
Kulkarni : I have made all declarations as per the Rules.
Bench going through the papers.
Now Dr Vinod Kulkarni makes submissions as party in person.
"This hijab issue is creating a hysteria and is affecting the mental health of Muslim girls. As per preamble of constitution, guarding health is duty of the state"
CJ : This PIL is also not as per HC rules.
Bench dismisses the PIL.
Kotwal: I have filed many petitions and this is the first time my petition has been dismissed on grounds of maintainability.
Justice Dixit : New rules have been framed after your petitions may have been filed.
CJ to Kotwal: Your petition is not as per the rules.
Kotwal : It is an important matter, let us not get into technicalities. Provide me 3-4 minutes.
Justice Dixit : Rule 14 is not technicality.
CJ : We will dismiss your petition with costs. You are testing our nerves.
CJ : We will dismiss this petition. It is not maintainable.
Kotwal : I will highlight one more convention and will conclude.
CJ : Sorry mister, we cannot permit you to argue. It is not maintainable.
Bench points out that the paragraph refers to something else.
Justice Dixit: By such petitions, you are wasting the time of the court in such an important matter. This much we should see. Pagination is not proper! You take time which otherwise can be utilized by your friends
CJ : Are you aware of the PIL rules? Have you made the declaration as per the rules?
Kotwal says yes. Points to a paragraph in the petition.
Kotwal: Petitioner is a social activist, RTI activist, who has assisted this honourable court in number of PILs.
CJ : We don't need your assistance.
