The Rajasthan High Court convened a special hearing late Sunday night on a petition by nine Hanumangarh councilors and ordered interim relief amid fears of police action.
The Rajasthan High Court in Jaipur opened its doors for a special session on Sunday night, a day that is typically a holiday for the judiciary. The hearing focused on a petition filed by nine elected councilors from the Hanumangarh district, who sought protection from a possible police operation against them.
During the proceedings, the court examined the councilors' concerns that law‑enforcement action could be taken without due process. In response, the bench granted an interim order that temporarily restrains any police action against the petitioners until the matter is fully heard.
The decision was taken amid heightened tension in the region, with local officials monitoring the situation closely. The court's intervention aims to ensure that the councilors' legal rights are preserved while the broader dispute is resolved in a regular hearing.
The special hearing underscores the judiciary's willingness to intervene promptly when the rights of elected representatives appear to be at risk, even on a weekend.
