Sr. Adv. Rajeev Dhawan has begun his submissions.

I am opposing the question of reference. The historical trip that the Ld. AG took us through was quite irrelevant.

Kaul J. - We heard Mr. Shah yesterday. We have to hear this too. All perspectives need to be heard.

RD - The practice of the court is that the AG is heard of anything and everything !

Coming to the submissions, while I oppose reference, I also oppose the Union’s interpretations of the two judgements. PN Kaul must be understood in the light of competence, while SP is an extension of detention cases.
