The Supreme Court directed the Centre to preserve ammunition logs of the Rapid Action Force deployed at Jantar Mantar and asked the Delhi government to provide treatment for those injured by pellet guns during July 20 protests against the NEET paper leak. The bench observed that police may use pellet guns in exceptional situations while hearing a plea seeking a complete ban on metallic pellet guns. The hearing involved submissions referencing Bureau of Police Research and Development guidelines.

How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

The hearing underscores the need to curb state violence against student protesters and highlights lasting harm from pellet guns during demonstrations against the NEET paper leak.

“Accountability for state actors and solidarity with marginalized student voices”

Conservative

The Court's observation correctly prioritizes public order and shows measured oversight rather than reflexive disarmament of security forces during disruptive protests.

“State duty to maintain order and equip law enforcement with tools for unrest”

Libertarian

The hearing raises concerns over the state's resort to tools inflicting indiscriminate harm on individuals exercising assembly and speech rights.

“Limiting coercive state power and preserving bodily autonomy”

Devil's Advocate

All perspectives accept the protests as standard civic expression without examining potential partisan elements, actual deployment of pellets, or evidentiary basis for the ban demand.

“Shared premise that glosses over crowd dynamics, historical escalation patterns, and whether the Court's refusal reflects caution”
