'It's the duty of constitutional courts to ask questions to executive bodies about their duties' - Justice Muralidhar
Court asks SG Tushar Mehta of the consequences of not registering FIRs
'When you have multiple clips of inflammatory speeches, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you registering the FIR' - Justice Muralidhar
'It's our constitutional duty to protect lives. Anguish of constitutional courts must be taken seriously' - Justice Muralidhar
'SG: FIRs will be registered an appropriate time
'What's the appropriate time, Mr Mehta? The city is burning' - Justice Muralidhar
SG: If I start playing the clips that I have like they've made, they'll be an inflammatory situation
'By saying that, you're painting the police in a worse picture', Justice Muralidhar replies.
SG: Today is not the day, this is not the time. The Petitioner hasn't proved as to why he's only highlighting these 3 videos as threat to public interest.
SG: Based upon the selective pointing out of 3 videos, this court should not exercise its extraordinary juridiction. Hate speeches are being made from all sections.
SG: As officers of this court, we should not sensationalise such an unfortunate situation. Police are dying on duty, there are reports of acid attacks.
'Please don't allow demoralising of the force. Please don't let them malign the forces in public', SG Tushar Mehta
