J Gavai- what objections should you have if matters involving national security are seen by court?

J Ramana- we don't want to keep it..just see it and give back

VG- the court can be shown, but he should put it on affidavit that he'll submit something like this. If lordships were to rely on an argument that's based on what's submitted, then I'm handicapped.

Huzefa Ahmadi also objects and says SG never makes technical arguments on matters such as this. Why are we getting into these materials

J Ramana- we have not at all gone into technicalities in this case. We want this matter to be heard in the most effective way. Had we been technical, would we have heard you as extensively as we did? You're an intervenor.

HA- in matters relating to human rights, such technicalities are not always taken

Bench-matter would be prolonged if we were technical here. Asks SG if there's military/intelligence inputs. He says yes.

Sibal intervenes. Your Lordships don't need to see the documents. For this case, we'll assume that there is sensitive information. We'll argue accordingly..there is sensitive information, we agree to assume it

Bench agrees with this
