Counsel: If this court denies the petitioner protection, it would mean a death warrant for him.

Rastogi J: This is not a matter for this court. Go back to high court.

Counsel: I will. Till such time, this court could protect...

Rastogi J shakes head.

Counsel: ...Some protection till I approach high court. I am not saying investigation should not happen, but only want my safety to be ensured. That is my only point.

Bench refuses request, says, "Dismissed as withdrawn".

Over 350 lawyers from #SupremeCourt and various HCs issue a statement condemning the comment of Law Minister Kiren Rijiju that "few retired judges belong to anti-India gang".
