Allahabad HC rejects heirs land plea after 22 years, says state took possession in 1992
The Allahabad high court dismissed a family's land restoration plea filed after twenty-two years. The court found the family had not challenged dispossession within a reasonable time. Proceedings under the Urban Land Ceiling Act were completed in 1992. The family failed to prove possession when the Repeal Act came into force. Unexplained delay meant the plea could not be considered by the court.

Allahabad HC slams UP govt for misusing Goondas Act, warns of damages
The Allahabad High Court criticised the UP government for misusing the Goondas Act. The court noted the law was used for harassment and warned of damages. It also questioned the use of the NSA against a student activist. Procedural shortcuts and executive overreach are becoming systemic issues. Law enforcement must adhere to constitutional rights and due process.

Justice Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal made the observation while hearing a bail application in a dowry death case, [] The post Allahabad High Court asks UP DGP to consider making audio-video recording of witness statements mandatory appeared first on India Legal .
Allahabad HC sets Ayush Malik free after he says he voluntarily converted to Islam
The Allahabad High Court has set Ayush Malik, a 31-year-old man from Shamli who said he had voluntarily converted to Islam, at liberty to live at a place of his choice, observing that an adults decisions regarding faith, residence and marriage cannot be overridden by family objections. Justice Sandeep Jain passed the order on Wednesday while hearing a habeas corpus petition alleging that Malik, who changed his name to Mohammad Ali, was being illegally confined by his family following his religious conversion. The court said Malik had categorically stated that he embraced Islam voluntarily and that his decision was not influenced by any threat, coercion, undue influence or pressure. Nothing has been brought on record which may persuade this Court to disbelieve the statement made by the corpus in the course of his interaction with the Court, the Bench observed. The court said there was no lawful justification for continuing any restraint on Maliks personal liberty after he expressed his wishes before it. It directed that he be allowed to reside wherever and with whomever he chose, profess and practise the religion of his choice, and take an appropriate decision regarding his matrimonial relationship in accordance with law. Father opposed conversion The court was informed that Malik had embraced Islam in 2014 and had been following the essential practices of the faith. He told the Bench that his decision was not acceptable to his parents and other family members. Malik also expressed his intention to marry Chandni Qureshi, a Muslim woman, and alleged that he had been subjected to threats and unlawful confinement at his home since June 4. His father, Devraj Singh Malik, disputed his sons account, claiming that he had been influenced or brainwashed by certain persons and had not converted voluntarily. The court noted that the fathers concern for his sons welfare was understandable but said it could not override the constitutionally protected autonomy of an adult capable of making decisions about his own life. Court cites individual autonomy The Bench said a person who has attained majority is ordinarily entitled to determine their faith according to their conscience. Such a choice, being an expression of individual autonomy and freedom of conscience, cannot be displaced merely because it is not acceptable to his family members, it observed. The court also said the right to choose a person with whom one wishes to establish a matrimonial relationship is an integral part of the right to life and personal liberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. It added that the mere fact that an adults choice may go against the wishes or expectations of family members cannot, by itself, provide a legitimate basis for restricting that choice. Once an adult person has unequivocally expressed his free will and choice before the Court, such choice is ordinarily entitled to be respected, the Bench said. Background of the case The court had on September 9 directed authorities in Uttar Pradesh to produce Malik before it. His conversion had earlier led to the arrest of Chandni Qureshi and her father under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, in a case registered by Shamli police. Malik had previously told the media that he converted voluntarily. His father, a businessman, had alleged that the woman and her family coerced him in an attempt to gain control over their property. Malik had reportedly later returned to Hinduism. The latest habeas corpus petition, however, alleged that he was being illegally confined by his family. The court said that in exercising its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, it was not required to substitute its own perception of what would be beneficial for the considered choice of an adult. It accordingly set Malik at liberty to make decisions concerning his residence, faith and matrimonial relationship.

Executive program on labour law, social security compliance concludes at GNLU
Gandhinagar, Sep 12: The inaugural cohort of the Executive Development Program on Labour Law and Social Security Compliance (EPFO at Core) concluded on Monday at Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) with a valedictory and certificate distribution ceremony. Jointly developed by GNLU and the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya National Academy of Social Security (PDUNASS), the apex training academy of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), the three-month executive programme brought together 60 industry practitioners for rigorous hybrid learning, practical case studies and written assessments. The programme was conceptualised by Kumar Rohit, Additional Central PF Commissioner (HQ) and Director, PDUNASS, to address the persistent gap between classroom theory and practical enterprise compliance. The initiative seeks to foster a cultural shift in corporate governancefrom defensive and reactive compliance to informed and ethical compliance. The vision took institutional shape through sustained collaboration with Prof. (Dr.) S. Shanthakumar, Director, GNLU, whose academic leadership and commitment contributed significantly to establishing a specialised platform for social security education. Dr. Nitin Malik, Registrar, GNLU, provided proactive institutional facilitation and administrative support. A key feature of the programme is its dynamic and evolving curriculum, designed to respond continuously to statutory reforms, technological advancements and changing workplace environments. During the inaugural cycle, the curriculum was updated in real time to incorporate transition mechanisms under the Code on Social Security 2020, the revised EPF, EPS and EDLI scheme frameworks, and operational practices aligned with live EPFO digital portal workflows. Launched on May 29, 2026, the programme commenced on June 5 and featured 23 interactive evening sessions led by 16 senior resource persons, including EPFO policymakers and legal academics. The programme culminated in a four-day campus immersion at GNLU from September 9 to 12, featuring practical compliance case studies and formal written evaluations. The valedictory ceremony was chaired by Chief Guest Dr. Justice K. J. Thakar, Former Judge of the High Courts of Gujarat and Allahabad and Chairperson of Gujarat State Human Rights Commission. Highlighting the constitutional and human dimensions of social welfare, Justice Thakar observed that provident fund legislation constitutes a foundational safety net for Indias workforce. Drawing upon his extensive judicial experience, he commended the joint institutional initiative and congratulated Kumar Rohit for identifying an important systemic need and translating it into an impactful executive education programme. Addressing the participants, Kumar Rohit said: This initiative is designed to drive a lasting cultural paradigm shift in enterprise governancetransitioning from defensive, checklist compliance to informed, ethical compliance. When compliance is executed with accuracy at the source, returns are clean, administrative friction dissolves, and social security entitlements reach the worker swiftly and with dignity. As the inaugural cohort, you carry the responsibility of being practitioners and ambassadors of this standard across Indias industrial landscape. Kumar Rohit expressed his gratitude to Prof. (Dr.) S. Shanthakumar for his vision and academic leadership; Dr. Nitin Malik for institutional facilitation; and Prof. (Dr.) Girish R., Head, Academic Affairs, GNLU, Dr. Asha Verma, Assistant Professor of Law and Dr. Hardik H. Parikh, Assistant Professor of Law and Programme Coordinator, for curating, coordinating and steering the programme, with sustained coordination support from Sudhanshi Sikarwar, Teaching and Research Associate (Law), GNLU. He placed on record his appreciation for the guidance and support extended by the Advisory Board of the Executive Development Programme, comprising Amit Vashisht, Additional Central Provident Fund Commissioner, and Regional Provident Fund Commissioners-I Uttam Prakash, Manoranjan Kumar, Prashant Sharma, Sanjay Kumar Rai and Ram Anand. The ceremony was attended by senior officers, including Sudeepta Ghosh, Additional CPFC (Gujarat), and Manoranjan Kumar, RPFC-I, PDUNASS. Dr. Hardik Parikh presented the programme report, outlining its pedagogical outcomes and participant performance. In view of the strong nationwide response to the inaugural programme, PDUNASS and GNLU announced that admissions for the second batch will open shortly.
