Jagan moves HC seeking DSP rank officer’s inclusion in his security detail
New Indian ExpressThough a request was made to the government on January 9, no permission has been accorded till date, forcing him to approach the court. Countering the petitioner’s counsel arguments, Advocate General Dammalapati Srinivas said as per the Yellow Book, no one can request a certain person for security, and security staff cannot be allowed for foreign trips. Further, security decisions need to be taken by the Union Home Ministry and the Ministry of External Affairs, besides the State government. Intervening at that time, Sriram mentioned that even before that Act came into force, Jagan visited abroad in 2022, and the security staff accompanied him. He further said the Yellow Book does not prohibit requisition for a certain person for security detail.
