During the hearing, Chief Justice Suryakant said that it was a completely peaceful protest by the students, in which they raised their demands within the constitutional framework. He added that such agitations often involve some unexpected guests, who come with their own agenda and gradually become part of the agitation.

He said that agitations are natural in a democracy and it is time to decide under what circumstances and in what manner weapons like tear gas can be used. He also appealed to all parties for constructive suggestions.

Senior advocate Gopal Shankar Narayan, representing the petitioners, told the court that an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) himself broke the windows of the car, the video of which is available. The police acted without restraint and until the responsibility is fixed, such incidents will continue to happen again and again. In the SIT, Supreme Court Chief Justice Suryakant said that the court prima facie believes that the case requires an independent, fair and transparent investigation. Whoever violates the law will be prosecuted and if responsibility is not established, the investigation will be futile. The court will take a decision on the composition of the SIT later.

During the hearing, senior advocate Shadan Farasat told the court that although the Bihar government had announced the withdrawal of the FIR, more than 150 minors were still in custody. He alleged that many children were detained for more than 48 hours. One of the detained children was only 13 years old and they also demanded the immediate release of all the minors.

Meanwhile, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the court that 250 police personnel were injured in this incident, many of them had to get stitches. He said that the truth must come out as it is not possible that students can commit such violence. According to him, some social activists and “intrusive guests” had joined the agitation. He claimed that the government had information to show that accused in cases like murder, rape and NDPS were also present there.

However, Tushar Mehta also said that if additional force is used against the students, it is a matter of serious concern and the government stands by them. He also said that nothing should happen to demoralize the police. He reiterated that the government is in favor of an independent inquiry into the matter and the final truth will emerge only after the inquiry is completed.

During the hearing, senior advocate Prashant Bhushan also raised the issue of Junaid Malik distributing food during the agitation. The police detained Junaid Malik and took him to Mussoorie and alleged that his family was being harassed continuously. After Prashant Bhushan's arguments, the Supreme Court has considered the case as serious and fixed the next hearing on August 3.
