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.

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.
