Quotes
Delhi High Court
The court issuing the September 30 order
“The manner in which the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 have proceeded is, to say the least, dictatorial... The very manner in which the power has been exercised, without notice and without hearing, bears the trappings of a dictatorial exercise of authority and cannot be permitted in a society governed by the rule of law.”
