Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi and Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta before the Supreme Court on the Sahara diaries case to make a point that discussions cannot be held in the House on the basis of "loose papers" of evidence.

"Documents filed by the Birla as well as the Sahara Group are not in the form of an account book as mentioned in the regular course of business.

"They are random sheets and loose papers and their correctness and authenticity, even the names mentioned therein, have been found to be unreliable, having no evidentiary value...so, it is untenable to make a case out of loose evidentiary facts," Jayachandra said, reading out Rohatgi's submissions before the apex court.

Taking into account the points raised by the ministers, the Speaker upheld their contentions and disallowed discussions on the matter.

"I uphold the contentions of the ministers, for it is untenable to discuss on the diary, which is nothing but a bunch of loose papers of evidentiary facts," he said.

The BJP legislators then stormed into the Well of the House. They raised slogans and staged a protest which prompted the Speaker to adjourn the House twice.
