KATASANI RAMBHUPAL REDDY vs STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH — SLP(C) No. 6419/2026

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Katasani Rambhupal Reddy's Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's denial of security cover. The Court held that while being a political opposition member does not automatically warrant security, threat assessments must remain dynamic and held that law enforcement agencies—not courts—should determine security needs based on periodic reassessments. The petition was disposed of with directions for authorities to periodically reassess the petitioner's threat perception and take appropriate decisions accordingly.
