In Brief
In this 2017 case, petitioners sought protective security from the States of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana through a writ petition. The Supreme Court granted interim relief, directing both states to provide adequate security to the petitioners. The Court gave respondents four weeks to file counter affidavits, with rejoinder to follow, and scheduled the matter for hearing after six weeks. This order ensured the petitioners' personal safety while preserving their right to a full hearing on the merits of their petition."
