Adv Chaudhari: I will need more time than 10 minutes, all arguments of Mr. Divan have to be countered.

Justice Chandrachud: Saari behes toh ho gayi aapki (all your arguments are over)

Justice Chandrachud: We will hear Mr. Anoop Chaudhari and then hear Mr. Gautam Bhatia and then Ms. Shahrukh Alam.

Justice Chandrachud: You are absolutely right, spot on. We however, in this case have a group of citizens here who are a part of an amorphous community, not about an individual.

Sai Deepak: The one question that My lords may also want to consider: The chilling effect on this order, even if it is limited to a specific episode.

Solicitor General: Not on merits of this case but wish to make submissions in this regard.

Justice Chandrachud: Withdrawal Symptoms by 4 pm.

SG: If someone doesn't have them, it is abnormal My lord.

Justice Chandrachud: What does a court prohibit in an injunctive order? We can't say don't have a man in a green t-shirt and beard etc. .. now this will go into specifics. We can't go too specific, we can't go too far - so as to effect 19(1)(a).

Farasat: Question is, will a restricted injunction, which is limited in nature be at all effective?

Moreover, I am seeking continuation of the prohibition.

Justice Chandrachud: Today there is a blanket Wider argument is vacate the injunction.

Justice Chandrachud: If Zakat Foundation feels there is defamation then they can approach civil remedies or a court to enforce damages etc. Hate speech is for a targeted group.
