SC to hear plea of Youth Congress president on May 15

A Bench comprising Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justices P.S. Narasimha and J.B. Pardiwala took note of the submissions of senior advocate Devadatt Kamat, appearing for Mr. Srinivas, that the plea needed urgent hearing as he was being hounded in Assam.

"An opposition leader is being hounded in Assam," the senior lawyer said, requesting the court for an urgent hearing.
