• J Bagchi: Mr Venugopal and SCAORA's petition quite exhaustive

    Sr Adv Shoeb Alam: Concern goes to our fundamental rights. Reading Art. 19, I found everything in our favor

    J Bagchi: Shackles start from Art. 19(2). CJI made clear - 19(2) is not a prohibition, it's a regulation

    Alam: My concern is people are being detained. Micro-journalism reports things. People being detained from outside Delhi. People's houses have been raided in attempt to ensure people don't reach protest site. They cannot be prevented. They haven't committed any sin. They are being detained for less than 24 hrs and then released. But exericise of power colorable. Please see magnitude of the problem. 6000-7000 people detained, including former Chief Ministers.

    JBagchi: We understand the magnitude of detentions

    Adv Dehadrai for police officers: Police officers also brutalized

    J Bagchi: Police officers don't have individual right to maintain law and order over and above the state. Please assist learned SG. Life and liberty equally sensitive - we have said that before. Be it police officer, citizen. All intervention applications will be listed. We will pass a composite order on listed matters

    Sibal: We will like interim order

    J Bagchi: We will see, after hearing ld. SG

    SG says he was not served

    Petitioner-side says SG office was served

    Sibal: Allow me a few minutes on interim after they have made submissions.
