[LIVE UPDATES]SC Hearing Plea By Facebook India Chief Against Delhi Assembly's Summons In Connection With Delhi Riots

Rohatgi(for FB) says he wants to add something.

Justice Kaul - Any notice issued to you?

Rohatgi - He (Ajit Mohan) is my employee. He is being called to answer allegations against me. Assembly has no power or jurisdiction.

Salve - There are two issues :

1. Can the privileges of legislature be exercised in this manner?

2. If yes, Can my rights under Articles 14, 19 and 21 be affected?

Justice Kaul says we cannot decide the case finally today. We are at notice stage, he says.

My right under 19 cannot be overridden in this manner : Salve.

The members choosing their own procedure can be challenged before the court. This is the root of Article 21 : Salve for FB VP.

Issues relating to communal riots are not within the powers of the Delhi legislative assembly. Police and public order are not under the powers of Delhi assembly. The committee has no authority of law to deal with these issues : Salve.

The moment you come to an enquiry of this kind, it becomes an inquisition. Where is the authority of law for this : Salve 

Rohatgi (for Facebook): Mr. Salve (appearing for Ajit Mohan) is my employee. After I argue, my lords will understand how unconstitutional this is.

I do not want to get into the middle of this. If I don't appear I cannot be compelled to face penalities for that : Salve

Forcing me to appear before the house panel with a threat of penalty is a violation of my fundamental right to free speech : Salve for FB VP.
