A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh said, “This is the crucial hour when each and every citizen of this country has joined hands to fight terrorism. Don’t make any prayer that can demoralise a person. Look at the sensitivity of the issue.”

“Be responsible. You owe some duty towards the country. Is this the way.. Please don’t do this. Since when has a retired high court or Supreme Court judge become an expert to investigate such issues (terrorism)? We are not entertaining anything. Please go wherever you want to go," the bench said.
