Supreme Court To Consider Pan-India Guidelines to Strengthen Court Security

The Supreme Court expressed deep concern over increasing violent incidents within court premises and signalled its intent to frame comprehensive guidelines on court security nationwide.

The bench, while hearing a plea filed by the Kerala Police Officers Association, held that strict action must be taken against those involved in such acts to preserve judicial sanctity.

The Court also referred to existing High Court directions outlining police conduct during arrests and the code of behaviour within court complexes.

The court stressed that courts must remain secure spaces for justice delivery, free from intimidation or disruption.
