HC asks UP govt to follow SC guidelines in filing affidavit in mob lynching incident

Prayagraj, The Allahabad High Court, hearing a petition in a mob lynching case, has directed the Uttar Pradesh authorities to file an affidavit within three weeks in consonance with the Supreme Court's 2018 guidelines on preventing and addressing incidents of mob violence. HC asks UP govt to follow SC guidelines in filing affidavit in mob lynching incident A bench comprising Justice Siddharth and Justice Avnish Saxena was hearing a petition filed by the brother of a 37-year-old man killed on suspicion of slaughtering cattle in Moradabad district in december last year. The petition sought a probe into the incident by a special investigating team and Rs. 50 lakh as compensation for the family of the deceased. During the court proceedings, the counsel for the petitioner argued that the state had not implemented the mandatory safeguards laid down by the apex court in the case of Tehseen S Poonawalla vs. Union of India . The ruling included remedial measures like prompt FIR registration, nodal officer oversight, timely charge-sheet filing, victim compensation, etc. The High Court, in its order dated July 10, recorded that only the investigating officer had filed a counter-affidavit in the matter and the state government had not shown any steps taken in line with the binding directions of the apex court. Thus, the division bench remarked that the UP government should file a better counter-affidavit keeping in view the directions of the apex court in the Poonawalla case within three weeks. Regarding the merits of the matter, it noted that the FIR should have been lodged by the police under Section 103 of the BNS , but was instead registered under Section 103 . The court stayed the investigation in the FIR until the next date of hearing. The court ordered that the matter will now be heard next on August 5, 2025. The petitioner contended that the Uttar Pradesh government has failed to formulate a Lynching/Mob Violence Compensation Scheme in compliance with the provisions of Section 357A of the criminal procedure code , despite the explicit and binding direction in the Tehseen Poonawalla case, which constitutes 'grave' and 'willful' violation of the rule of law. The petition also requested the court to direct the UP government to take disciplinary action against the police officials involved in the matter in line with the Supreme Court's directions to ensure accountability. It also requested the court to direct the Centre to launch public awareness campaigns against mob violence and lynching, highlighting legal consequences as directed by the Supreme Court. On the intervening night of 29-30 December 2024, Shahedeen and a few others were allegedly caught by a mob which accused them of slaughtering a cow. While the others managed to flee, Shahedeen was brutally beaten by the mob for nearly an hour. He succumbed to the injuries the next day. Later, Moradabad police booked Shahedeen and his alleged accomplices under the Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act.

Post-operationalisation, SAEL's total solar manufacturing capacity will rise to 8.5 GW, the company said in a statement. New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI) SAEL Industries will invest around Rs 8,000 crore to set up a solar manufacturing facility in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, according to a statement released on Saturday.

Dhami meets PM, seeks Rs 3.5k crore aid for Kumbh 2027

Dehradun: Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Monday and sought financial assistance of Rs 3,500 crore for preparations for the Mahakumbh to be held in Haridwar in 2027. Dhami informed the PM that initial preparations for the Mahakumbh have already begun. For its successful organisation, key infrastructure upgrades are required, including the repair of bridges, expansion of parking facilities, improvements in electricity and water supply, construction of toilets, transportation networks and pedestrian pathways for pilgrims. The CM also invited Modi to attend the Nanda Raj Jat Yatra, a pilgrimage scheduled for Aug 2026, and sought Rs 400 crore in central assistance for its organisation. Seeking support for religious tourism and infrastructure development, Dhami urged the PM to direct relevant ministries to support the Haridwar Ganga Corridor, Rishikesh Ganga Corridor and Sharda Corridor in Champawat, on the lines of the Kedarnath and Badrinath Dham master plans. He also proposed that funding for these projects could be mobilised through corporate social responsibility (CSR) contributions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Bahía Blanca (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo Highlighting the state's long-term water security efforts, the CM said, "A preliminary proposal for the Pindar-Kosi link project has been prepared. The project aims to connect the glacier-fed Pindar River to the rain-fed Kosi, Gagas, Gomti and Garud rivers. If implemented, it could benefit around two lakh people across 625 villages in Bageshwar, Almora and Nainital districts by improving irrigation and drinking water availability. Additionally, towns such as Garud, Kausani, Dwarahat, Ranikhet, and Almora would see an improved water supply for over 1.25 lakh residents." Dhami requested that the project be brought under a special Union govt scheme. In a bid to boost industrial development, the CM proposed converting the Nepa Farm area in Udham Singh Nagar into a semiconductor manufacturing hub. He requested the PM's support in attracting industry investments for the same. Dhami also called for the extension of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) from Delhi-Meerut up to Haridwar. He urged the inclusion of new route provisions under the Tanakpur-Bageshwar and Rishikesh-Uttarkashi rail projects. In the power sector, the CM sought the approval of a Rs 1,015 crore detailed project report (DPR) under the revamped distribution sector scheme (RDSS). The project proposes undergrounding of high-tension (HT) and low-tension (LT) power lines and automation of the power system in Rishikesh and Haridwar. The CM also apprised Modi about the state govt's efforts to restore Chaurasi Kutiya, the heritage site near Rishikesh associated with the Beatles' visit in 1968, to its original form. He said funding arrangements have been made and sought clearance from the National Board for Wildlife. Additionally, Dhami requested early approval for five hydropower projects with a total generation capacity of 596 MW, based on the recommendations of a committee headed by the cabinet secretary.
