A Bench led by Chief Justice of India accepts Solicitor General's submissions that security was provided after taking into consideration threat perceptions and ground realities
The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Centre to continue providing security cover to industrialist Mukesh Ambani and his family in Mumbai.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana accepted Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's submissions that security was provided after taking into consideration threat perceptions and ground realities.
The Centre had moved the Supreme Court with a plea to quash proceedings before the Tripura High Court in a public interest petition challenging the security cover to the businessman and his family.
The three-judge Bench led by the CJI quashed the Tripura High Court proceedings.
Mr. Mehta said the government would send the bill for the security cover to the family. There was no need for a petitioner in Tripura to bother about it.
The Centre had moved the Supreme Court after the High Court had directed it to produce the Home Ministry's files on the security given to the family.
The apex court had on June 29 stayed the High Court order.
