The Apex court judges have been led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud took note of the submission of senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, listing the case in two weeks.

Moreover, the parties are seeking pre- and post-arrest guidelines to be followed by the central investigation agencies.

Speaking to the media, the advocate, Singhvi said, “Ninety-five per cent of cases are against opposition leaders. We are asking for pre-arrest guidelines and post-arrest guidelines.”

Opposition parties include:

The participant (opposition parties) that filed the case in the Supreme Court are  Congress, Trinamool Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, Janata Dal-United, Bharat Rashtra Samithi, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction), National Conference, Nationalist Congress Party, the Left and the DMK.
