GYANVAPI MOSQUE SHIV LING CLAIM- Supreme Court Hearing- Live Updates

Justice Chandrachud : Give us 2 minutes and let us formulate the order.

Ahmadi : The Commissioner was removed for leaking and the leaked information was made the substratum of the order of May 16.

J Narasimha : So far as 16 May order, that according to you was an ex-parte order, you are entitled to challenge the order. Before the District Court can't that order be modified or changed?

Ahmadi : What I am saying is that the order appointing commissioner is illegal?

Ahmadi : Let that tap water be used, as has been for the last 500 years

J Chandrachud : We don't have the photographs. We have no bird eye view.

Ahmadi : Even after the order was passed by this court, that area is in the middle of a tank. From the sides, you have taps, where people used to offer wazu. The middle area can be protected. Let access be...

SG : No No, it will create law and order problems.

SG : There is a vacation. Your lordships might have some plans. It may be on some day subject to your lordships convenience. An order has been passed to protect the interest. It is not an emotive issue. It can be after vacation also.

Kumar : I am suggesting your lordships may have on Monday or Tuesday. Not today.

SG : Not today. For today there is a problem.

J Chandrachud asking the brother judges if they should go for J Nageswara Rao's farewell and come back for the case.

Ahmadi : In India we have several examples...if controversies like this are allowed to fester, the Act will become a dead letter.

Ahmadi : So far as this mosque is concerned, existing for over 500 years, its nature as a mosque as on August 15, 1947 is apparently not disputed.

Ranjit Kumar : It is under dispute.

Ahmadi : You can dispute whatever.
