📅 17 Juli 2018 📍 India

India’s Supreme Court issued preventive, remedial and punitive directions in Tehseen S. Poonawalla v. Union of India. The ruling addressed mob violence and required authorities to respond rather than tolerate vigilantism. It became relevant to struggles against lynchings of Muslims and other targeted communities. The decision established obligations and recommendations; it did not demonstrate that every state subsequently implemented them or that lynching ceased.
