Appearing before Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal, Senior Advocate SFA Naqvi questioned the presence of the State’s Advocate General in the courtroom, when the government was yet to be impleaded as a party to the matter.
“Whatever they (Hindu side) may have claimed in suit is wrong…averments made are preposterous… Why is Advocate General here?…State government is not a party… If there is something between plaintiff and State?” Naqvi asked, as today’s hearing drew to a close.
“He is just assisting,” Justice Agarwal replied.
“There is nexus between the two (State government and Hindu parties)…If directions for State was passed, that can be communicated… Why is he here?” Naqvi argued.
“So you are alleging against the court also?” the Court queried.
“Court ke liey toh keh hi nahi sakte (Translation: We can never say anything against the Court),” Naqvi replied while the judge clarified that he was referring to the civil court and not the High Court.
