Justice Dhulia to Dhar : You said you will limit only to the verses..
Justice Gupt : Please limit, Preamble has been read earlier by many advocates.
Dhar : Quran is the mandate. It is the commandment of Allah, it has to be adhered to.
Dhar : One the day of judgment, everything will be accounted for. Good deeds and sins.
Dhar : We are living in a great nation with a great Constitution protecting us, our faith. We have a constitutional protection guaranteed by the Preamble, it is held as part of basic structure, faith belief are protected in Preamble.
Dhar : The verse Allah is merciful and forgiving has confused Ahmad Ali. But it does not mean you don't have to follow suras. It is not that if you don't wear hijab Allah will forgive. Author is totally wrong. It is his interpretation.
Dhar points out to Suras stating that women need to cover their heads.
Dhar : Ahmad Ali's commentary is wrong.
Justice Dhulia : High Court relied on Ahmad Ali saying Supreme Court has also referred.
Dhar : He is wrong (then refers to certain documents)
J Dhulia : Aap ne bhi commentary likha hai kya?
Dhar : I have read the whole Quran.
Justice Gupta : These were read by Mr.Salman Khurshid, Mr.Mucchala, Mr.Pasha, why repeat?
Dhar : The point is if they are revealed to Prophet, they are mandatory. Karnataka HC says they are directory.
Dhar referring to another sura.
Dhar refers to suras in Arabic.
Justice Gupta : Mr.Dhar, we don't know Arabic.
Dhar : I will give the translations.
Dhar : What Karnataka High Court has held is wrong.
Justice Gupta : May or may not be, we are taking an independent view.
Justice Dhulia : All these arguments have been made by Mr.Mucchala.
Dhar : I want to show.
Justice Gupta : One argument is that we can't interpret Quran. That was the argument of Dr.Dhawan, Mr.Mucchala and Mr.Kamat to an extent.
Dhar : There are 3 suras..
Justice Gupta : Have you filed your written submissions?
Dhar : I will
J Gupta : Because it will facilitate your submissions.
