      Kaul: What was the hurry? That during the weekend you want the replies to be filed! That's why we moved to this court by 32.

      Kaul: They didn't even follow the basic norms of natural justice.

      Kaul: The scope for disqualification being misused is enormous and that is what is sought to be done here.

      Kaul: Whether Nabam applies or not applies, the court said only on principle of natural justice give them more time because the rules provide 7 days and they only got the weekend.

      CJI DY Chandrachud: If Nabam Rebia didn't exist, the Speaker would be entitled to decide disqualification. If he had decided, 39 would have gone out. Then the government would have fallen.

      Kaul: Exactly.

      Kaul: It's wrong to say that Shinde wouldn't have gotten support. Till he is disqualified, he continues to be a member.

      Justice Shah: CJI is saying what if he was disqualified:

      Kaul: Speaker couldn't have gone ahead with the disqualification because of Nabam Rebia.

      Kaul: Your own people were not there to support your government! That's why this number comes to 99. 13 from MVA abstained. Because you had lost the support.

    • 1 March 2023 10:03 AM GMT

      Kaul: In the chart I gave - Quite apart from removing the 39, they were running from actuals. 13 of them were their own people. That's how they came to 99.

      Kaul: These are all hypotheticals.

      CJI DY Chandrachud: Not all is hypothetical. We all know what happened and what led to this.
