A senior advocate, who was one of the six commissioners appointed by the Supreme Court, today said unprecedented security arrangements were made at the Patiala House Court when Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had gone there in connection with a defamation case filed by him against AAP leaders, which was absent when JNU leader Kanhaiya Kumar was brought there today.
Senior counsel Dushayant Dave, who was critical of the security provided to JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar, submitted before a bench of Justices J Chelameswar and A M Sapre that such was not the situation when Jaitley had come for recording of his statement.
"There was unprecedented security when Jaitley had come," he said.

The apex court bench, however, preferred to refrain from making any remark on his this submission.
Apart from Dave, the other members of the panel were senior advocates Kapil Sibal, Rajeev Dhawan, Harin Rawal, Ajit K Sinha and advocate A D N Rao.
