Allahabad High Court

Lakhimpur violence incident's main accused, Ashish Teni has been granted bail by Allahabad High Court (HC) on February 10. Reviewing the bail plea, Justice Rajeev Singh reserved the orders and granted bail. Notably, Ashish Mishra Teni, the son of former UP Home Minister Ajay Mishra Teni was accused in the killing of eight people, including four farmers in Lakhimpur, Kheri in 2021. Moreover, an SIT also found Mishra guilty. 

While allowing police protection to an inter-faith couple, the Allahabad High Court on September 16 said nobody, even parents, can't raise any objection to the marriage of two adults based on religion or else. The court's direction came after a 19-year-old Muslim woman and her 24-year-old Hindu partner from UP's Gorakhpur urged it to provide the protection. Reportedly, the couple's parents have become a threat to their life.

The Supreme Court regarded Supertech’s decision on building 40-storey twin towers under a housing project in Noida on green land as “palpably wrong.” In 2017, Allahabad HC had declared the project illegal and asked for the demolition of the building. “Bringing down the building would be a disaster for adjoining building and environment,” said Advocate Gaurav Agarwal, who is assisting the court as amicus curiae.

The Supreme Court on May 22 observed that the "Ram Bharose" order of the Allahabad High Court regarding the COVID-19 management in UP was non-implementable and stayed its execution. Earlier, the high court had given the order while hearing petitions regarding COVID healthcare system in the state. The apex court stated that the high court must refrain from issuing non-implementable directions and look into the possible things.

The Allahabad High Court, hearing a PIL on May 4, said death of COVID patients due to lack of oxygen supply is equal to "genocide". Citing such death reports that have gone viral on social media, the court stated these incidents reflect "harassment" by the district administrations and the police upon the "poor citizens". Meanwhile, the District Magistrates of Meerut and Lucknow are ordered to submit reports on oxygen-deprived patients.
