The State opposed the plea on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction. Its counsel argued,
“There is no jurisdiction and the petitioner lacks territorial jurisdiction. There is already a suit filed in Agra.”
The Court also expressed its displeasure at the plea, saying,
“Are these issues debatable in a court of law? Are we judges trained and equipped with such things?“
The judges also stressed that there had to be an infringement of a right and only then could a writ of mandamus, as prayed for, be issued.
