[Rajasthan Assembly Speaker's Plea Against HC Order] Live Updates From Supreme Court

ORDER DICTATED BY JUSTICE MISHRA:

•Rajasthan HC Judgement will be subject to the outcome of the SC Orders.

•Matter will be now heard on Monday. 

Salve - Speaker has twice deferred the proceedings on his own. He also argued jurisdiction in HC. Why should he be wary of HC to pass an order now?

Justice Mishra - Can we say Order of the HC will be subject to the outcome here?

Salve - Yes, that's fine. 

Salve submits that the Speaker has argued that this will be taken into account. Speaker also agreed that no fresh notice will be issued. Additionally, Documents have also been submitted. 

J Mishra is inclined to have this matter again tomorrow. “I've heard Sibal sahab at length.”

Sr. Adv. Harish Salve is now appearing for @SachinPilot

.J. Mishra stresses that there are imp. questions related to democracy. "These are very serious issues. We want to hear it."

Justice Mishra - The question is what happens to this democracy?

He looks at Salve and says, “You understand our concern? Under such circumstances, whether Court should exercise jurisdiction or not. We will need all of your assistance on this.”

Salve says, “We’ll assist.”

Sibal - Every judicial order has political consequences.

Sr. Adv. Mukul Rohatgi - Let HC decide tomorrow, then we'll see.

How can Speaker say there are political concerns? He's the Speaker!

Justice Mishra says that the question is of jurisdiction.

“If we pass order here, the question of jurisdiction still remains open.”

Sibal urges for SC to stay HC proceedings. “If you are to examine it, you must suspend what's happening in HC.”

However, the Bench does not seem inclined to do so. 

Sibal - I'll file a transfer Petition. Transfer it to yourself.

Justice Mishra - Cannot do that right now. Not like this.

Sibal - This is not fair.

Justice Mishra - Don’t use such language. 

Justice Mishra - Your questions require a lengthy hearing.

Sibal - Suspend HC order. Stay further proceedings there, please.

Justice Mishra - That’s what we will examine. 

Sibal - It’s against Hollohan. There's a prima facie 5 judge Bench judgment. I've shown you a number of cases.

J. Mishra - Right now we don't have benefit of Court’s order.

Sibal - What if the court quashes? Before decision, they cannot quash, but then what if they do?
