In Brief
This Special Leave Petition (Criminal) was filed by Paramvir Singh Saini against a High Court order dated 22-11-2016 from the Punjab & Haryana High Court. The Supreme Court condoned the petition despite procedural lapses and issued notice to the Union of India's Ministry of Home Affairs, all State Governments' Home Secretaries, and the official respondents. The Court appointed a senior counsel as amicus curiae to assist on larger legal questions and constituted an Oversight Body to monitor compliance with court directions, with periodic progress affidavits to be filed. The matter was put up for further consideration after notice.
