“We will not accept any application by the police ex-parte. We will disregard it and treat it with utter contempt. If the court respects and listens to them and a decision is taken, you don’t really have a choice. But it’s good you said that it’s on notice. So we’re going to defend in court. We’re going to argue in court. That will be on May 24. So it is Friday.”
