[CRPF Protection To Unnao Survivor's Family And Lawyer] There Is No Threat Perception Now:Centre Submits Before SC

Live Law  

A Division Bench of the Supreme Court of India on Friday received responses from the State of Uttar Pradesh and the Union of India with respect to the "threat perception" in UP. The hearing was held as a part of the writ of "perpetual mandamus" issued in 2019 after Supreme Court decided to take suo motu cognisance of various reports on the rise in cases of sexual assault on children. Appearing on behalf of the state of Uttar Pradesh, Additional Advocate-General Garima Prashad informed the Court that the "entire security aspect" in this matter had been handed over to the Central Reserve Police Force, referring to the transfer of responsibility affected in line with a 2019 Supreme Court order directing the centre to provide security cover to the families of the Unnao rape survivor and her lawyer. In July 2019, in a surprising turn of events, the three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court tagged the Unnao rape case with this suo motu writ petition on receiving a letter from the survivor.
