Can also shake ‘so that it feels that the back understands their arguments or they are liking them. To this, Justice Gawai made fun of Mehta’s comment and said, “What to do if God has given me a smile.” All the people present in the courtroom smiled on this reply of the CJI. This incident happened at a time when Mehta was arguing that Jammu and Kashmir with the Indian Union was not merged with any ‘condition’. He emphasized that no document proves that Jammu and Kashmir’s merger in India was conditional. Earlier, CJI Gawai had questioned that if Article 370 was really of temporary nature and a 1935 India Act was required for circumstances such as autonomy given to the provinces, then why was it not referenced to the 1935 Act. SG Mehta’s argument was directly responding to this point, reiterating that no party presented any evidence to prove that Jammu and Kashmir’s merger in India was subject to any condition.
