Order: vi must take on record the enormous work done by the court commissioners appointed by the court. The reports tendered today show that even they have risked their life and face threats only with a view to discharge their duties.

Firstly we refer to report prepared by Shri Manan Verma. We direct Delhi Police to file a report to this court setting out the action taken by the police.

We have also perused the report of Mr Jatin Kumar and Miss Savi Nagpal. We direct Shri Balram Singh SHO of the police station to file a response as to what is stated in the report and he shal personally remain present in the court on the next day.

Another shocking thing which is revealed is that the employees of the contractors by using WhatsApp are communicating the movement of the court commissioners. The government will immediately take action against this. In the same report, instance of stubble burning has been pointed out.

We cannot allow members of the bar to be subjected to risk as the reports indicate that some of them were subjected to threats. We therefore give the option to the court commissioners whether they want to continue the work which is entrusted to them. Those court commissioners that desire to continue the work will send email to the Nodal Officer appointed by Delhi Police. Protection of armed policemen shall be given to those Court commissioners. They shall be given instructions that they will not communicate the movement of the court Commissioners.

We make it clear that it is the responsibility of Delhi Police to ensure that members of the bar who are acting as court commissioners are adequately protected.
