Grover submitted that there was a distinction between rubber, plastic and metallic pellets and said the present case concerned metallic pellets allegedly fired at students who were protesting peacefully. The petitioners also raised concerns regarding the medical treatment of the injured protesters. In its interim direction, the CJI Kant-led Bench ordered that the "Government of Delhi shall provide medical treatment to the injured petitioner or other similarly placed individuals." The petitioners have sought compensation for persons injured by pellets during the July 20 protest, besides medical treatment for the victims. The petitioners have contended that the use of pellet guns against a peaceful civilian gathering is disproportionate and violates constitutional protections relating to life, liberty and peaceful assembly.
