SG: The public prosecutor was not allowed to file a reply.

Bench: What is your prayer ?

SG: Please come to page 30. Allow me to correct this. Normally names are not written - It is Justice Banerjee and not Bindal.

Bench: We have read this.

SG: The Hon’ble CM comes and sits in dharna. So does the Law Minister. They are joined as parties before the HC. They say that they are showing solidarity. I have made detailed averments as to how they were in court premises.

SG reads out the submissions. He submits that a huge unruly crowd had gathered before the CBI office which restricted the movements of the officials. These movements seemed to be carefully orchestrated and engineered violence by the mob.

SG: Allow me to show undisputed facts. They vacated the order that was passed without considering the facts. This is the state of affairs. On May 17, the accused were arrested and they were to be presented at CBi Special Court.

Singh: I will take two minutes. There’s no order they are appealing against. In the vacation procedure, the first thing that is said that no SLP against orders of this sort will be listed.

Sr. Adv. Vikas Singh appears for State of West Bengal.

SG: Let me begin. They don’t want to appraise the Court of real facts. In a case between CBI and accused, can West Bengal be a party ?

Bench: You are appearing everywhere.

Singhvi: So does Mr. Mehta.

Bench: You are also appearing everywhere. We read it all in the newspapers and LiveLaw

Bench: You are appearing for whom, Dr. Singhvi ?

Singhvi: I am appearing for Farhad Hakim and Mukherjee.

Luthra: I am appearing for Respondent 3.
