Sr. Adv , AAG Garima Prashad appears for the State of UP

Justice Bose : what is your threat perception

Prashad : a copy of the application may be served on us and we shall respond
Prashad : in this matter, the entire security aspect was handed over to CRPF.
Justice Bose : this matter has a very badly checkered history. We have to be extra cautious.

Justice Bose : we will take this up next Monday
Adv : The earlier (unnao rape case victim's) lawyer's wife and brother have filed an application seeking clarification of direction (regarding security threat) because CRPF officers are only stationed at their house. There is a lot of financial stress.
Justice Bose : we have to grant maximum protection but we have to see how the system can provide it so we are taking assistance from the ministry only. Let them come with whatever they have to say.

Adv : your lordship may look at the status report and take a call
Another lawyer says that a person who had taken security under the garb of being the parokar of the victim is misusing the position

Adv : he is doing all the illegal activities after taking cisf security. He is building power, fighting elections at Unnao
Adv : I have annexed photographs of his activities in my IA. I am the affected party. The IA may be listed
Adv : this Devinder is the one doing illegal activities, fighting panchayat elections etc.

Justice Bose : Right now we will concentrate on Ministry of Home Affairs report. We cannot micromanage
Justice Bose: let us look at the report on security for lawyers first and then see who is misusing etc.

Adv : let the union only take a call on our application

ASG Aishwarya Bhati : let us place status report on record. We don't want to continue security for all
ASG : this happened in 2018. In 2022 what is the threat perception. That we have to ascertain
Adv says government money is being misused by a person who was a candidate for the Samajwadi party. 'he did all the ruckus. No. Of FIRs registered "

Justice Bose : are you a rival candidate

Adv : i was

Justice Bose : okay we will see
Another lawyer seeks to intervene

Adv : this about 2 IAs filed in 2021 re Maharashtra subordinate judges. Seeking directions to permit serving judicial officers to be appointed as judges in Fast Track Courts

Justice Nath: how is that related to this? Why are you complicating
Justice Bose : Enough of this perpetual mandamus

Justice Nath: this is not the case. There is no dearth of cases dealing with such issues. You take these IAs and go to the courts hearing these matters

Justice Bose : this is an offshoot of a horrific incident. Can't include this
Matter will be taken up next week
