Earlier, a bench headed by Chief justice N V Ramana took note of the submissions of senior advocate Maninder Singh that the plea of Lawyer's Voice seeking a court-monitored probe into the breach in security of the prime minister be heard urgently.

"Serve the copy (of the petition) to the state government. We will take it tomorrow as the first item," the bench said.

On Wednesday, the prime minister's convoy was stranded on a flyover due to a blockade by protesters in Ferozepur after which he returned from poll-bound Punjab without attending any event, including a rally.
