Judgment text excerpt
The petitioner sought a review of a judgment concerning the failure of state authorities to provide protection to a key eye-witness in a murder trial. Despite a High Court direction to consider the witness's representation for protection, no effective measures were taken. The case examines the state's obligation to protect witnesses who face threats after testifying against convicted individuals.
