Thanks to the digitalisation of Court proceedings. We had the benefit of hearing the arguments of some of the greatest lawyers of our time in the Hijab case.
The brightest arguments were from the youngest lawyers. Mr. Devadatt Kamat made powerful yet impassionate submissions throughout the proceedings. His knowledge of law and professionalism stole the show. Professor Ravivarma Kumar was, as always, at his best. Mr. Sanjay Hegde reiterated the arguments of Mr. Kamat with little poetic tinge.
The onslaught from the respondent’s side came from the Advocate General with able assistance of his team. The Arguments of the Advocate General were outstanding. Mr. Sajan Poovayya’s arguments, to say the least, coup de grâce.
The contribution of other learned lawyers was noteworthy.
The Hon’ble Judges heard eight eminent lawyers for 27 hours. Went through 210 judgements cited at the Bar and 600 pages of written arguments filed by the learned advocates. Each day, they would carry seven bags full of files for reading.
Considering the sensational issue involved, this is the second historic judgement after Ram Janmabhumi judgement delivered by the Supreme Court.
