🚨in Court - Contempt Application by Aakar Patel for non-compliance of order setting aside Look Out circular by CBI, alleging financial frauds by Patel. CBI has also filed a revision application before the Rouse Avenue court against yesterday’s order. @MirAhmedTanveer for Patel.
Contempt Plea by Aakar Patel will be taken up at 1 pm.
Advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir is arguing that the particular order which was issued was to come into force with immediate effect.
Mir, Aakar Patel’s lawyer says that despite being in law enforcement, officers had their phones switched off when Patel was stopped by immigration officers. “How dare they switch off their phones being from Law enforcement?” Mir tells courts
Court says it is premature to state what action could have been taken by CBI.
Court: Compliance was at 4 pm and order had immediate effect.
CBI’s lawyer tells court that the order was to be intimated to authorities. “Inko ek second mei kaam karwana tha (they want things done in a jiffy)”
CBI tells Court: Point is our revision will become infructuous, “Nahi karna chah rahe, nahi karenge, what is the point of our revision petition then?”
(The CBI has filed a revision plea against yesterday’s order & it will be taken up at 2 pm)
Court posts case at 4 pm.

#SupremeCourt hearing plea seeking removal of GST and income tax on the Haj services provided to Hajis of India in Saudi Arabia. It is performace of Haj and Umrah and certain services are provided for the performance of Haj. Services include Air tickets, currency exchange, etc.
The plea is challenging the levie of tax on the services availed in Saudi Arabia.
However, the bench said that the payment is made here in India and finishes here in India.
Counsel: Milords, it is very important where the service is consumed. The Statute says that tax will be levied where the Consumer is located. According to us it's not the correct approach.
