• SG: there are few FIRs in 2 other states. i would not rule out possibility of other FIRs in other states. Art. 142 may be exercised to direct that any FIR pertaining to protest on july 20...

    CJI: format can be that any similar FIR if registered in any other state is directed to be closed

    Grover: closure - they will have to file...then there can be protest petition

    SG: we are ad idem. only semantics being worked out. your lordships may say 'may not be pursued' and shall be treated as closed

    CJI: for all intents and purposes

    SG: apprehension rightly appears to be - closed means you will have to file closure report. close means closure from today. I don't think any confusion on that. same order can be for other states/UTs. i am trying to allay any apprehension. 3rd assurance was wrt compensation for students who died. I am authorized to state that govt stands by that assurance. only problem is about modalities. there are several exams. whatever happens here, becomes a benchmark. i am requesting that while recording commitment of central govt that we will comply with this assurance, I will take 3 months for modalities.
