NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Monday asked Varun Gandhi if he was ready to give an undertaking that he would not create any volatile situation if freed from custody and posted the hearing on his petition to Thursday, which means he will spend at least three more days in jail.

A bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice P. Sathasivam, while hearing a petition by Varun challenging his detention under the National Security Act (NSA), asked his counsel Mukul Rohatagi, who readily agreed to give such an undertaking.

The Uttar Pradesh government's counsel Harish Salve, however, said that he will have to consult his client before giving a reply.

The NSA was invoked against Gandhi for delivering speeches with "communal overtones and for chaos created by him while surrendering before a court on March 28", the state government has earlier said in an affidavit before the Supreme Court.

4/13/2009 5:04:00 PM Dear on Line Editor,As an ordinary individual who has no knowledge on leagal twisting I would like to ask few very ordinary questions on this subject(1) Why do people go to court to prove that he/she is innocent,It is in the hope that only interpretation of the concerned point of law will be considered(2) Here the point is Varuns Speech,The circumstances ,the situation, the audience listening etc must be considered (3) From his speech was there any vocal explosives which will destroy our sacred minority?(4)s this not the courts right to interpret the law which jailed an innocent person with out any VALID violation of any existing law?(5) Hurting , how much, how serious,etc is a poi9nt to be analyzed by our leaerned advocates when presentng the arguments.As a lay man I strongly feel that no law has been violated and here is a case of GROSS MISS USE OF Authrority driven political animosity.Unless the judiciary intere in these type of illegal ways of political authority people will contin

4/13/2009 2:24:00 PM It is not quite clear as to why UP Govt's cousel Harish salve said that he will have to consult his client before giving a reply. May be as a legal practice I am not sure as I am not a legal expert. Any how Varun should be out and should adhere to the undertaking.
