Justice Gupta : It was I who asked them. Later on rethink, we thought we will not take it (regarding sealed cover submission of chargesheet in case for alleged conspiracy behind hijab agitation).

Sr Adv Huzefa Ahmadi making rejoinder : Argument of PFI was not raised before High Court.

J Gupta : We are not dealing with that. We will deal with the Sikh woman when the issue arises.

Khurshid: The choice of appearance and apparel need not necessarily flow from Article 25, but also the judgment of privacy. 

Khurshid : Issue here is I use my behavioural privacy to wear something, if that exercise of right violates the competing right of another person, then it has to be balanced. But if does not, then this behavioural privacy has to be permitted.
