Sambhal MP deposits Rs 6 lakh in compliance with Allahabad HC order in power theft case
LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Partys Lok Sabha MP from Sambhal, Zia-ur-Rahman Barq, deposited Rs 6 lakh with the electricity department on Tuesday, in compliance with an order of the Allahabad High Court in a power theft case registered against him. According to official sources, the electricity supply to his residence was restored later in the day. The case dates back to December 2023, when the electricity department installed a smart meter at the MPs residence on December 17. A load inspection was conducted on December 19, during which the department accused the MP of power theft. Subsequently, a penalty of Rs 1.91 crore was imposed on him. Despite being given multiple opportunities by the department to present his case, the MP challenged the penalty in court. On June 3, the Allahabad High Court directed that electricity supply be restored upon the MP depositing Rs 6 lakh with the department. Complying with the directive, the MPs counsel, Farid Ahmed, visited the local electricity office and submitted a demand draft for Rs 6 lakh. Later, Ahmed stated that along with the deposition, they had also submitted a formal request to restore the power connection. The matter is now listed for further hearing in the High Court on July 2, the MPs lawyer told media persons.

Cash discovery row: Congress asks Centre to share SC report on allegations against Justice Varma
NEW DELHI: The Congress has asked the government to share with it the report of a Supreme Court-appointed committee that probed graft allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma so that it can firm up its stand on the issue of his impeachment before the Monsoon session of Parliament, party sources said on Thursday. The government, however, is yet to respond, the sources said. Several burnt sacks containing cash were allegedly discovered at Justice Varma's residence in Delhi after a fire broke out there in March, when he was a Delhi High Court judge. Though the judge, who was later transferred to the Allahabad High Court, has claimed ignorance about the cash, the Supreme Court-appointed committee indicted him after speaking to a number of witnesses and recording his statement. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has initiated discussions with all political parties to bring an impeachment motion against Justice Varma in Parliament's Monsoon session, starting from July 21. The Congress sources said the party has asked Rijiju to share the report of the committee so that it can firm up its stand on the issue of impeachment. The minister is yet to get back to the Congress, they said. Cash discovery row: Resignation only option before Justice Varma to avoid removal by Parliament Last week, Rijiju underlined the government's resolve to take all political parties on board in moving the impeachment motion against Justice Varma, saying corruption in the judiciary cannot be approached through a political prism. He said the government wants the exercise to be a collaborative effort. According to the Judges (Inquiry) Act of 1968, once a motion to remove a judge is admitted in any of the Houses, the speaker or the chairman, as the case may be, will constitute a three-member committee to investigate the grounds on which the removal (or, in popular term, impeachment) has been sought. The committee consists of the chief justice of India (CJI) or a Supreme Court judge, the chief justice of one of the 25 high courts and a distinguished jurist. Rijiju, however, has said the present case is slightly different as an in-house committee formed by former CJI Sanjiv Khanna has already submitted its report. So what is to be done in this matter, we will take a call, he said earlier. The minister had said the process has to be followed, but how to integrate the inquiry already conducted needs to be decided. Following the Supreme Court's in-house inquiry, former CJI Sanjeev Khanna is believed to have prodded Varma to resign but he dug in his heels. The apex court has since transferred him to his parent cadre, the Allahabad High Court, where he has not been assigned any judicial work. Former CJI Khanna had written to the president and the prime minister, recommending Justice Varma's impeachment. 'Justice Yashwant Varma to be impeached?' Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde explains

There is no accountability: Rahul Gandhi slams UP for hiding Maha Kumbh death toll; cites BBC report
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday cited a BBC report to allege that the number of people who died in stampedes during the Maha Kumbh was suppressed by the Uttar Pradesh government and accused the BJP of having no accountability. BBC report reveals that the figures of deaths in Kumbh Mela stampede were hidden. Like in COVID, the bodies of the poor were erased from the statistics. Like after every major railway accident, the truth is suppressed, he said in a post on X. This is the BJP model - if there is no counting of the poor, then there is no accountability either! the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said. On Tuesday, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav cited the same media report to accuse the Uttar Pradesh government of lying about the death toll in the January 29 Maha Kumbh stampede and said that those who provide false statistics are not worthy of public trust. Yadav made the remarks in a post on X, citing a BBC report which claimed that 82 people died in the stampede. The toll is significantly higher than the official figure of 37.

Sibal questions Dhankhars 'inaction' after SC drops probe into Allahabad HC judge
NEW DELHI: Amid reports that the Supreme Court dropped its investigation against Allahabad HC judge Shekhar Kumar Yadav following an intervention from the Rajya Sabha, Upper House MP Kapil Sibal on Tuesday questioned why Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar has not taken any action on the notice seeking an impeachment motion against the judge. Addressing media in the capital, Sibal, who is also a senior advocate and SCBA president, said the whole incident smacks of discrimination. He alleged that the government is attempting to save the judge after he made entirely communal remarks last year. On one hand the Rajya Sabha secretary general wrote to the Chief Justice of India to not go ahead with an in-house inquiry against Yadav as a petition was pending against him before the Upper House, which was not done in the case of Justice Yashwant Varma, he said. Why did you not write a letter over in-house inquiry against Justice Varma. So does this government want to protect Shekhar Yadav, we think they want to save him, he said. Speaking on the Uniform Civil Code , Justice Yadav of Allahabad HC on December 8, 2024 reportedly said that Hindus did not expect Muslims to follow their culture but only wanted them not to disrespect the same. Speaking at a VHP event, he had stated that the country would run as per the wishes of the Bahusankhayak (majority) and that the Uniform Civil Code would soon become a reality. On December 13, 2024, members of several opposition parties moved a notice in the Rajya Sabha for the impeachment of Allahabad HC Judge over his controversial remarks at the VHP event. The notice for moving the impeachment motion was signed by 55 opposition MPs, including Sibal, Jairam Ramesh, Vivek Tankha, Digvijaya Singh, John Brittas, Manoj Kumar Jha and Saket Gokhale. So either no action will be taken or they will reject a few signatures in the impeachment notice and reject the motion so that we go to the Supreme Court and it takes time which would ensure that Shekhar Yadav retires in 2026, Sibal said. Sibal said that on December 13, 2024, the Opposition MPs had given a notice for an impeachment motion to Chairman Rajya Sabha with signatures of 55 MPs. Six months have gone, but no steps have been taken, he said. The RS secretariat sent a letter to the CJI, requesting that no action be taken. It was said the matter will be taken up as there is an impeachment motion notice, and the Supreme Court must halt its in-house procedures against Yadav, Sibal said. Should the chairman write such a letter to the CJI? The in-house procedure is SCs own, it has no connection with the impeachment motion. Till now impeachment motion has not even been admitted, it has been six months and only signatures are being verified, Sibal said. Senior advocates urge CJI to direct CBI action against Allahabad HC judge for hate speech at VHP event

Mahakumbh stampede: Allahabad HC slams UP government over delayed compensation; seeks full report
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court has strongly criticised the Uttar Pradesh government for not extending compensation to the families of those who died in the Mahakumbh stampede on January 29, 2025 . While hearing a petition on Saturday, the vacation bench of Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh and Justice Sandeep Jain said the governments attitude was unstable and indifferent to the suffering of citizens. The judges were responding to a petition filed by Uday Pratap Singh. The court asked the state government to submit full details of the deaths, injured patients, and medical staff involved in the treatment of stampede victims. It also ordered the government to explain what steps were taken to compensate the victim families. The court reminded the state government that it worked as a trustee of the people and must show sensitivity in such cases. It said the government should be more responsible and transparent in helping the victims and their families. It may be recalled that the stampede had taken place just around midnight on January 29, ahead of the Amrit Snan of Mauni Amavasya. The state government admitted that 30 people died and had announced a compensation of Rs 25 lakh each to the dependents of the deceased. However, the compensation has still not been given to the affected families. The High Court was hearing the petition of Uday Pratap Singh. According to Uday, his wife Sunaina Devi, 52, was seriously injured in the Mahakumbh stampede. She died during treatment. However, neither autopsy of his wife's body was conducted, nor was he given any information. He was not even told when and in what condition Sunaina was taken to the hospital. The court, considering this a serious lapse, raised questions about the working methods of government institutions. The bench said: When the government announced compensation, it should have been given to the families in a timely manner and with dignity. The citizens were not at fault and in such tragedies, it is the state's duty to take care of and assist the affected families, said the court. The court, making the health department, district administration, and other concerned officials parties in the case, asked them to file a detailed affidavit. This should include date-wise information of all bodies and patients that came under their control from January 28 until the end of the fair, it said. Additionally, details were sought of the doctors who treated the injured or declared deaths.
Allahabad HC grants bail to Lucknow University professor over her remarks on Pahalgam attack
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court on Monday granted interim anticipatory bail to Madri Kakoti, an assistant professor in the linguistics department of Lucknow University over her remarks on the Pahalgam terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
