The plea of 19-year-old Preeti Kedar Gokhale and 20-year-old Kajal Mishra has sought the formulation of policy to protect the human rights of security personnel serving in Jammu and Kashmir. It may be noted that of late, the trend of stone pelting on security forces has picked up pace with the personnel also being attacked while they are engaged in encounter with terrorists. This is done to divert the forces attention and try and allow terrorists to flee.

In response to the pleam the top Court agreed to hear the matter and issued notices to the Centre as well as Jammu and Kashmir government.
