The Delhi Police has filed an affidavit in the Delhi High Court emphasizing the need for security for judicial officers to be determined by individual threat assessments rather than a blanket policy. The police highlighted that blanket security could significantly impact law and order duties and resource allocation. Currently, 44 high court judges receive security based on their position, while 12 judicial officers are protected based on specific threats. The affidavit noted that during a May 4 meeting, it was agreed that any request from the high court for security would be acted upon immediately, pending a detailed assessment. Furthermore, a dedicated court security unit has been established to ensure safety in court complexes. The police pointed out that there is no uniform practice across states regarding blanket security, with most states opting for assessments based on threat perception. The court has scheduled a further hearing for this matter on July 7.
