J Datta: we would have expected if we put question on removal, you would have referred to the judges protection act

Sibal: i am not saying no,

J Datta: we are not pinning down as to why you come late, as per 3.2, you know the answer about CJI recommendation

Sibal: tapes were released

J Datta: according to you, the part you are challenging, you could have challenged earlier. Are you saying the inhouse committing recommending the removal is outside the jurisdiciton of constitutional court?

Sibal: how could I have come? I dont know what the committee will hold
