The Supreme Court will hear a plea on Monday seeking a court-monitored probe into the breach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s security during his visit to Punjab`s Ferozepur. A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice NV Ramana and Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli is likely to take up the plea.

Earlier on Friday, Senior advocate Maninder Singh appearing for petitioner Lawyers` Voice told the Supreme Court that the breach in Prime Minister`s security is not merely a law and order problem, it falls under Special Protection Groups (SPG) Act. Singh says it is the duty of Centre and State or the Union Territory and other local authorities to act in aid of the director of any member of the SPG. Under the SPG Act, it is not an issue of state subject or law and order. "The issue of Prime Minister protection is a national security issue and comes under parliamentary purview," Singh said on Friday in the Court.
