Jaising: I am not disputing any case laws. But they want you to depart from the 75 years of judgments which has governed us.

2026-04-29 10:37 GMT

Jaising: I have given pre and post existing laws as well.

2026-04-29 10:32 GMT

Jaising-refers to a new judgments quoted in her written submissions. I want to ask if there is a living guru in sabarimala? as far as I know, there is none.

2026-04-29 10:30 GMT

Jaising: ghost of narsu appu is stalking us. J Nariman said that its time to deal with it

J Amanullah: what is the reference of narsu appu

J Nagarathna: J Chandrachud didn't agree with what J Gajendragadkar said in narasu appu

Jaising: i have detailed why its wrong-when J Nariman asked on what basis I am saying its a bad law. he didn't overule.

2026-04-29 10:23 GMT

Jaising: good news is all states have temple entry allows which are immunised because of article 25(2)(b)

2026-04-29 10:11 GMT

J Nagarathna: the persons don't themselves see this as untouchability or disability

2026-04-29 10:06 GMT

Jaising: why does the constitution uses the word throwing open

J Amanullah- one thing in your favour-the restriction can be seen as permanent disability because you can't wait that I will turn 50 and then go because what matters is today

2026-04-29 10:06 GMT

J Nagarathna: why do you perceive that a woman is polluted?

Jaising: fine. What happened after that report? The Raja issued a proclamation that everyone is allowed. I asked someone why Raja issued a proclamation? he said if we don't allow them, they will convert to other religions

2026-04-29 10:06 GMT

Jaising: in my family, every single daugher attended the funeral, no tanthri or priest stopped us. it took in arya samaj, we carried out parents on our shoulders. the basis is that I am polluted. how can you take the whole expanse of my life?
