  "account": "Petitioners at the Supreme Court are seeking a reconstitution of the High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC) established to investigate the alleged police crackdown on students during the NEET-UG protest at Jantar Mantar on July 20. The petitioners argue that the committee's members should be given more flexibility in their work. However, the court noted that the committee is currently functioning under the direct supervision of the Supreme Court, and any changes would need to be approved by the court. The solicitor general argued that it is better to address all concerns related to the committee within the context of the main petitions rather than raising separate issues.",
