Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde, appearing on behalf of petitioner and Congress leader Tehseen Poonawalla, tendered to the court the names of the states and the UTs that are yet to submit their compliance report in the light of the judgment. Senior Counsel Indira Jaising, having moving an application for contempt against the state of Rajasthan in the wake of the unfortunate Alwar lynching episode which transpired days after the July 17 judgment, urged that there be fear in those who take the law into their hands of inviting the wrath of the law, indicating that the accused in the said incident may even contest elections. On Ms. Jaising’s suggestion, the bench directed all states to upload on their respective websites the steps they have adopted in this behalf so as to deter individuals against “unnecessarily taking the law into their hands” Finally, The apex court had required the Central and State Governments to comply, “without wasting any time”, with its direction to broadcast on radio, television and other public platforms that lynching and mob violence of any kind shall invite serious consequences.
