Court to continue hearing tomorrow.

SG Mehta: JPC's recommendation

SG Mehta: I was shocked, limitation act was not applicable to waqf. JPC reference to the tribal land

SG Mehta: there cannot be any article 14 violation, it is a part of the Constitution.

CJI: What about 3(E)?

SG Mehta: this is for protecting tribal land- what can be the objections here? Some claiming to be the leaders of some community are challenging this there is no affected person here

CJI: In the Bill, was it there?

SG Mehta: I must say, the Bill was placed to the JPC, S.3(D) was placed

J Masih: 3(D) was as such not a part of the Bill

SG Mehta: it was in the original amending Act

J Masih: it was a part of the report

SG Mehta: reading this part

SG Mehta: further reference to JPC

SG Mehta: JPC called Archaeological Survey of India...Mr Sibal has many forums where he reads many things, but he didn't read [a particular section of the 1904 Act]
