Solicitor General Tushar Mehta submitted that the issue is of “genuine human concern,” and the government is ready to hold discussions on what can be done administratively.

Tushar Mehta opened his arguments by saying that it was a “complex subject having profound effects,” and repeated the Union government’s stand that the court should leave the matter to the Parliament.
