  • The division bench of Justices Sangeeta Chandra and Brij Raj Singh directed the Union to deploy one CAPF personal security officer to S Vignesh Shishir on an immediate, round-the-clock basis.
  • Respondents were told to file a counter-affidavit annexing any decision on the petitioner’s representation that the Prime Minister’s Office sent to the Home Ministry.
  • The court listed the matter for a fresh hearing on October 9, 2025.
  • Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey cited the Witness Protection Scheme and described threats to the petitioner as palpable, with the bench noting prima facie risks as he pursues cases against a powerful individual and appears before police in Raebareli.
