Senior Advocate Vikas Singh appeared for petitioner Swami Chakrapani while Advocate Ajay Digpaul appeared for the respondents in the matter.

Petitioner Swami Chakrapani, National President of the Sant Mahasabha and Akhil Bharat Mahasabha contended that his security was reduced from Z+ category to X category without assigning any reasons. But the "Z" security to the petitioner continued till September 23, 2021, when again all of sudden without any prior intimation the security of the Petitioner was downgraded to "X" level without any threat perception assessment by the respondents.

The petitioner claimed that on September 4, 2021, again received a grave threat to his life whereby he has been threatened to be eliminated as they have killed Kamlesh Tiwari in the past.

The respondents have failed to maintain the "Z" Security of the petitioner since September 23, 2021, even after receiving the representation dated September 4, 2021, from the petitioner, intimating them of the threats received by the petitioner, plea mentioned.
