The Central government meanwhile approached the Supreme Court in appeal. In its plea before the apex court, the Centre argued that the PIL before the High Court was filed by an individual person who had no locus in the matter and was just a “meddlesome interloper”.
It was brought to the attention of the top court that a similar PIL with identical prayers was filed before the Bombay High Court, but was dismissed, and that order was confirmed by the Supreme Court.
Additionally, it was informed that ‘Z+’ category security was given to Mukesh Ambani in 2013 and ‘Y+’ category Central Police Reserve Force (CRPF) cover was given to his wife Neeta Ambani in 2016 on the basis of inputs and assessment reports received from intelligence and investigation units.
Further, it was contended that neither were the Ambanis residents of Tripura, nor did any cause of action in the matter arise in the State.
