The Supreme Court on Friday gave states one week to implement its judgement ordering the setting up of a procedure to prevent mob lynching incidents. In July, a bench of Chief Justice (CJI) Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said state and central governments have to take preventive, punitive and remedial measures to stop lynching incidents in the future.
CJI Misra said the Centre and states have to file compliance report on a series of directions given by the SC to prevent and punish lynching.
