HC dismisses ‘fake degree' plea against UP deputy CM Maurya
Prayagraj: The Allahabad high court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking registration of a criminal case against Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister and senior BJP leader Keshav Prasad Maurya over allegations of submitting fake educational degrees while contesting elections and obtaining a petrol pump dealership. Rejecting the revision petition filed by one Diwakar Nath Tripathi, a BJP leader and social activist from Prayagraj, Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh said, "The complainant-revisionist is not a person deceived by Keshav Prasad Maurya (second respondent in the petition). He had no locus to move an application under section 156 (3) of CrPC seeking direction to register FIR regarding the alleged offence of cheating and forgery, which are not covered under section 39 (public to give information of certain offences) of CrPC. " "The wheels of criminal justice system cannot be permitted to be clogged by frivolous complaints where a complainant himself is not aggrieved or victim in any manner," the court added. Passing the order, the bench said: "The proceedings appear to be prima facie initiated maliciously by the revisionist with oblique motives and an intention to gain some advantage or settle his score." Tripathi had approached the HC after the additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM) in Prayagraj dismissed his application in 2021 under section 156(3) of CrPC, which sought a police investigation into the alleged fake educational degrees of Maurya. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo In her order Sept 4, 2021, the ACJM had found that no cognisable offence was made out against Maurya. Tripathi later challenged the ACJM's order before the high court. However, in Feb 2024, the court dismissed his revision on the ground of delay, noting that the petition was filed more than 300 days after the trial court's order. However, in Jan this year, the Supreme Court condoned the delay and directed the high court to consider the matter on the merits. Pursuant to the SC's directions, Tripathi again approached the Allahabad HC with a fresh revision petition taking the same allegations and grounds. The matter was admitted in Apr 2025, and judgment was reserved on May 23, 2025.

11 years of Narendra Modi govt: UP dy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya lauds ‘transformative changes'
Greater Noida: UP deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Wednesday said India was in a state of despair and corruption before 2014, but the leadership of Narendra Modi brought about "transformative changes". "Before 2014, we were the 13th largest economy. Today, we are the fourth and by 2027, India will become the third-largest economy. By 2048, we aim to see India as a fully developed nation," Maurya said. He was addressing a public meeting in Akilpur village in Dadri assembly constituency as part of a campaign highlighting the achievements of 11 years of the Modi-led central govt. Maurya credited Modi govt for major policy changes, including the abrogation of Article 370, 33% reservation for women in legislatures, the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the implementation of welfare schemes like the Swachh Bharat Mission, PM Awas Yojana and Kisan Samman Nidhi. "Under the Congress, only 15 paise out of a rupee reached the poor. Today, the full amount of Rs 2,000 reaches farmers directly in their accounts," the deputy CM said. The BJP leader urged state officials to intensify the distribution of Ayushman Bharat health cards, which provide up to Rs 5 lakh in free medical treatment per family per year. Ayushman cards were also distributed to elderly residents during the event.
