The Supreme Court has clarified that states can withdraw FIRs registered against student protesters in connection with the CJP march to Parliament, provided they do so in accordance with the law. The clarification came after the central government told the court it was serious about its assurance to the CJP. The court also said it would set up a high-powered committee headed by a former Supreme Court judge to investigate the incidents that took place during the march. This follows the court's July 28 order, which had stated that cases against student protesters could be withdrawn, except for those with criminal antecedents.
