This Committee comprised of a Former Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Principal Secretary, Home Affairs and Justice, Government of Punjab. The petitioner has however urged that since lapses in the breach of security of the Prime Minister are being seriously attributed to the authorities of the State of Punjab, the constitution of an Enquiry Committee by the State was nothing but an abortive attempt to become a Judge in its own cause.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Advocate General for the State of Punjab, on the other hand, urged that the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has, in a way, already held the officers of Government of Punjab \u00a0\u2018guilty\u2019\u00a0 of the alleged negligence and\/or breach of security of the Prime Minister. He submitted that none of the agencies of the State Government had committed a dereliction of their responsibility for the security and safety of the Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister, yet there is a smear campaign to discredit the State\u00a0\u00a0 Government.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Supreme Court\u2019s Observations <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the lapse regarding the breach of security of the Prime Minister during his visit to Firozpur on 5<sup>th<\/sup> January, 2022 is not seriously disputed by either party, the Court, however, did not appreciate the blame game between the State and Central Government as to who is responsible for such lapses.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWar of words between them is no solution. It may rather impair the need of a robust mechanism to respond at such a critical juncture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Going through the legislative scheme of the Special Protection Group Act, 1988 as well as the Blue Book the Court observed that the object is to ensure full safety and security of the Prime Minister while he is touring a State. The additional object is to avoid any human error, negligence or any willful omission or commission which may hamper and\/or expose the safety and security of the Executive Head of the nation while he is traveling in a particular State. <em>Any lapse in this regard can lead to devastating and serious consequences.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court has, hence, asked the Enquiry Committee to submit its report at the earliest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Lawyers Voice v.
