Guruswamy: Contempt is item 1. Habeas will come later

J Bagchi: So far as oyur contempt, we have taken note of your averments. Last para of our order requires compliance report by Tuesday. We propose to ask alleged contemnor to file response compliance report and response to your petition. On Tuesday

Guruswamy: Why we troubled today - it's not that state is just in contempt. By disrupting metro, you take away my ability to move. Internet disconnected. 7000 people reported as detained. State not providing anyone official numbers. 45 detention centres reported as setup all across delhi. Opposition leaders picked up. MPs barricaded into their houses. This is not just. Young people have decided to lawfully protest, because they feel election system is not fair. Interim prayer is there. Constitution says in Art. 358 that Art. 19 rights can be restricted when emergency is imposed. Is the State saying there is undeclared emergency? habeas is the classic relief. when we filed, we were not aware of the magnitude of people taken away. As internet was disconnected.
