Justice RF Nariman: 'Asato Ma Sadgamay' is taken directly from Upanishad. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta: That alone won't make it a religious instruction..behind every judge of this Court, the logo says 'Yato Dharmas Tato Jaya'. And that's from Bhagvad Gita.

When #PChidambaram rushed to #SupremeCourt before his arrest, court showed no urgency. And then SC spends 4 full days - - sort of a record - to hear his anticipatory bail plea. Bench concerned skipped cases pending for 10 yrs to hear this. Not many get over 4 min in SC to argue.
