Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's directive to include Chief Justices and judges of the High Court in the list of persons exempted from pre-embarkation security checks at airports, as per the provisions of the Aircraft Act, 1934 and the National Civil Aviation Security Programme. The Court emphasized the need for a comprehensive national security policy and the importance of judicial independence in ensuring security measures do not infringe upon the dignity of the judiciary. The Union of India’s appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order.
