Lawyers at Allahabad High Court have initiated an indefinite strike to protest against the transfer of Justice Yashwant Varma from Delhi High Court, accusing him of corruption. They demand his impeachment and investigation by CBI, ED, and other agencies. The bar association refuses to accept the SC collegiums decision until the transfer order is scrapped.
Allahabad HC Bar Association on indefinite strike against Justice Varmas transfer
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court Bar Association on Tuesday began an indefinite strike to protest against the Supreme Court collegiums recommendation to transfer Justice Yashwant Varma from the Delhi High Court to the HC in Prayagraj. The collegiums recommendation came after wads of burnt currency notes were allegedly found from an outhouse at Justice Varmas Delhi residence last week during a fire. The incident led to allegations of corruption against Justice Varma, who had denied the accusations maintaining that it appeared to be a conspiracy to frame him. The bar association said the strike would continue till the transfer order was withdrawn. It urged the Centre not to clear the Supreme Court collegiums decision. In the general assembly of the Allahabad High Court Bar Association held on March 24, 2025, a proposal was passed unanimously stating that association will strongly oppose any future attempts to transfer Justice Yashwant Varma to the Allahabad High Court. However, despite this, the Supreme Court Collegium ignored the demand of the Allahabad High Court Bar Association and passed an order for the transfer of Justice Yashwant Varma to the Allahabad High Court. Deeply upset by this, we have unanimously decided to abstain from judicial work until further notice, the resolution said. Meanwhile, the Awadh Bar Association also decided to strike work on Friday against the SC collegiums decision to transfer Justice Verma to Allahabad High Court. Leading the protesting lawyers gathered at gate number 3 of the High Court, Allahabad Bar Association chief Anil Tiwari said the protest was not against any court or judge but against those who had betrayed the judicial system. He said: Our fight is against those involved in corruption and against a system that lacks transparency. For now, our demand is a reconsideration and withdrawal of the transfer order. The Bar Association also announced that the Photo Affidavit Centre will remain closed indefinitely from March 26 due to the suspension of judicial work and no fresh cases can be filed. The Association cautioned that if any oath commissioners or government advocates continue their duties on Tuesday, it will not oppose any action taken against them. The Bar Association had also passed a resolution on Monday calling for impeachment proceedings to be initiated against Justice Varma. Tiwari asserted the Association was prepared for an all-out battle on this issue. From the very beginning, there has been an attempt to cover up this matter. Today, lawyers across India are fighting this battle. Until a resolution is reached, we will not resume work, no matter the consequences, Tiwari said. Justice Varma was enrolled as an advocate on August 8, 1992. He was appointed as an additional judge of the Allahabad High Court on October 13, 2014.

CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: A video showing a local BJP worker arrested in a case of assault receiving a lenient treatment from the police in Maharashtra's Beed district has gone viral, with a senior official saying that strict action will be taken in the matter. Satish Bhosale, an aide of local BJP MLA Suresh Dhas, was arrested from Prayagraj earlier this month after an FIR was registered against him for allegedly assaulting a man with a cricket bat. Bhosale is facing other criminal cases too, including one registered by the Forest Department. A video shared on social media on Monday showed Bhosale sitting on the ground outside the Beed district jail and eating. As he gets up, a person in civilian dress is seen pouring water on his hands. A group of eight to ten people is standing around him and he is talking to them without any interference from the police. A local official told PTI that the video seemed to have been shot before he was sent in judicial custody. When asked by presspersons, Beed Superintendent of Police Navneet Kanwat said an action will be taken. This is a very serious matter and the concerned person will be suspended. A show-cause notice will also be issued to the officer who was in charge, he said.

The transfer recommendation to the Centre was made public in a resolution uploaded on the top court website. The alleged cash discovery happened following a fire at Varma's Lutyens Delhi residence at around 11.35 pm on March 14, prompting the fire officials to rush to the spot and douse it. The apex court collegium headed by CJI Sanjiv Khanna and the Delhi High Court subsequently issued a series of directives, including the withdrawal of judicial work from Justice Varma on Monday. Justice Varma has unequivocally denied the any cash being placed in the storeroom either by him or any of his family members while strongly denouncing the suggestion that the alleged cash belonged to them. He said the allegations of cash discovery from his official residence clearly appeared to be a conspiracy to frame and malign him. Justice Varma was enrolled as an advocate on August 8, 1992. He was appointed as an additional judge of the Allahabad High Court on October 13, 2014. He took oath as a permanent judge of the Allahabad High Court on February 1, 2016, before being appointed as a judge of the Delhi High Court on October 11, 2021.

It shocks: SC slams UP over Prayagraj demolition
The Supreme Court of India has criticized the Uttar Pradesh government for its high-handed demolition of homes in Prayagraj, ordering the reconstruction of the demolished structures. The court expressed concern over the manner in which notices were served and the swiftness of the demolition, stating that it shocks our conscience. The court has allowed the reconstruction of the homes at the petitioners' expense, provided they file appeals and do not claim ownership of the land. The matter has been adjourned to allow the petitioners to file undertakings.

'Shocks our conscience': SC rips into UP government for 'high-handed' house demolitions in Prayagraj
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday slammed the Uttar Pradesh government over its high handed demolition in Prayagraj saying it had shocked its conscience. A bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan also frowned upon the manner in which the houses were bulldozed within 24 hours of serving notices without the time to appeal. It shocks our conscience how the residential premises were demolished in a high handed manner. The manner in which the whole process has been conducted is shocking. Courts cannot tolerate such process. If we tolerate in one case it will continue, the bench said. The top court said it would allow the reconstruction of the demolished homes at the cost of the petitioners given their undertakings of filing the appeals before the appellate authority within the specified time and not claiming equities over the plot or creating third-party interests. If their appeals get dismissed, the court said, the petitioners must demolish the houses at their own cost. The matter was adjourned to enable the petitioners to file the undertaking. Why judiciary had to stop the bulldozer Defending state action, attorney general R Venkataramani assured of following the adequate due process in serving the notices. He pointed out large-scale illegal occupations saying it was difficult for the state government to control unauthorised possession. The apex court had previously slammed the Uttar Pradesh government over the demolition of houses in Prayagraj without following due legal procedure and said the action sends a shocking and wrong signal. The counsel for the petitioners had said the state government wrongly demolished the houses thinking the land belonged to gangster-politician Atiq Ahmed, who was killed in 2023 in a police encounter. The top court was hearing a plea by advocate Zulfiqar Haider, professor Ali Ahmed and others whose houses were demolished. The Allahabad High Court rejected their plea challenging the demolition. The petitioners alleged to have been served notice on March 6, 2021 in respect of certain constructions standing over a portion of Nazul Plot No.19, Lukerganj, police station Khuldabad in Prayagraj district.

UP same but perception has changed: CM Yogi Adityanath shares report card of his eight years
LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath claimed that good governance coupled with fast-paced robust economic growth is what the State has come to be known for during the last eight years. While giving an account of his governance of eight years, CM Yogi attributed the state's successes to the collective effort of 25 crore citizens of Uttar Pradesh under the guidance of PM Modi. He claimed that the state trod on the path of transformation from a Shram Shakti Punj to an Arth Shakti Punj of India. The state is the same but the perception has been completely transformed over the last eight years, he said. Flanked by both his Deputy CMs Keshav Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, BJP state chief Bhupendra Chaudhury and organisation secretary Dharam Pal Singh along with other cabinet colleagues, CM Yogi said that the entire nation was acknowledging the states emerging identity. It is prospering in the areas of security, good governance, prosperity, and Sanatan culture, he said. Uttar Pradesh, which once carried the tag of a BIMARU state has emerged as the growth engine of the Indian economy, he averred. Highlighting the significant impact made by the double-engine government across all sectors, the CM announced a three-day Vikas Utsav in all district headquarters on March 25, 26, and 27. During the event, Annadata farmers, youth, women, artisans, and entrepreneurs will be honoured, and the development milestones of 10 years of the Central government and eight years of the State government will be showcased to the public, he said. Second-largest economy in India Yogi claimed that UP was playing a pivotal role in PMs mission to make India a $5 trillion economy. He also said that UP is currently the second-largest economy in the country and is poised to become number one soon. Discussing fiscal management, the Chief Minister emphasised that over the past eight years, Uttar Pradesh's economy has been strengthened without placing any additional burden on the public or increasing taxes. UP is now a revenue-surplus state, he said. He noted that UPs economy, which was Rs 12.75 lakh crore in 2017 has more than doubled to Rs 27.5 lakh crore today. Per capita income has also grown from Rs 46,000 to Rs 1,24,000. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which was just Rs 3,300 crore from 2000 to 2017, rose to Rs 14,808 crore between 2017 and 2024. The states banking business grew from Rs 12.30 lakh crore to Rs 29.66 lakh crore, while the Credit-Deposit (CD) ratio improved from 46% to 61%. He credited the states journey over the past eight years to a collective spirit of teamwork, scale, skill, and speed. Reflecting on the states situation before 2017, Yogi said that Uttar Pradeshs identity was in deep crisis. Farmers were committing suicide, youth were searching for purpose, daughters and businessmen felt unsafe, and riots and lawlessness had crippled the economy, he recalled. In eight years, the double-engine government has changed that perception. Today, Uttar Pradesh is growing in every sector, he asserted. 'Law and order biggest achievement' Discussing the sector-wise transformation and sharing the data of all the sectors like agriculture, education, health, and employment, CM Yogi called improvement in the law and order situation as the biggest achievement of his government. Before 2017, riots were a regular feature. Daughters and traders lived in fear. Today, there is a rule of law in UP, he said. He cited the Prayagraj Mahakumbh as an example of effective governance, noting that during the 45-day event, not a single incident of molestation, robbery, kidnapping or abduction was reported. Emphasising that the safety, dignity, and self-reliance of women formed the foundation of a self-reliant society, he highlighted the transformation in women's representation in the police force. From 1947 to 2017, there were only 10,000 women personnel. In recent recruitments alone, 12,000 women were added taking the total to over 25,000. As a result, the share of women in the police force has increased from 14% to over 35%, he highlighted. Previous governments had abolished 54 companies of the PAC but thy all were reinstated after 2017. Additionally, three women battalions and five new PAC battalions were established. Cyber police stations and help desks were set up, and the response time of Police Response Vehicle (PRV) 112 was brought down from 25 minutes 42 seconds to just 7 minutes 24 seconds, he said. Focusing on youth development, CM Yogi stated that the unemployment rate, which was 19% in 2016-17, has declined to just 3% now, he added. He said that over the past eight years, more than 8 lakh government jobs have been provided, and over 2 crore youth have been empowered through self-employment in the MSME sector. Yogi pointed out that in 2017, there were 1.5 lakh vacant police posts. Through a transparent recruitment process, the government appointed 1,56,000 police personnel and recently added another 60,200. There were no police lines in 10 districts today, weve built them in every district, he added. Training capacity for police personnel has increased from 6,000 to 60,244. Other achievements CM listed out He underscored the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme which had revitalized traditional industries and entrepreneurship with exports rising from Rs 86,000 crore to over Rs 2 lakh crore. The CM stated that over the past eight years, more than 6 crore people have been uplifted from poverty in Uttar Pradesh. Presenting infrastructure achievements, CM Yogi said currently, UP has six expressways operational, and construction of 11 more was underway. Upon completion of the Ganga Expressway, Uttar Pradesh will account for 55% of the country's expressway network, he said. In 2017, only two airports were operational; today, the number has risen to 16, including four international airports. The countrys largest airport at Jewar is also nearing completion. Yogi highlighted UPs industrial growth noting its rise from 14th place in Ease of Doing Business before 2017 to a top achiever today. Highlighting growth in the tourism sector, CM noted a surge from 21 crore annual tourists before 2017 to 67 crore in 2023. The Prayagraj Mahakumbh alone saw 67 crore devotees. Faith is now a powerful driver of economic growth, boosted by better connectivity, security, and facilities, he said. 'Poised to be number one soon' Citing an RBI report, Yogi stated that Uttar Pradesh leads the country with a 16.2 per cent share in attracting funds for project financing. Currently, 132 companies from UP are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange with a collective market capitalization exceeding Rs 3.68 lakh crore. He highlighted the number of factories in the state increased from around 13,000 in 2017 to over 26,900 today, demonstrating significant industrial growth. CM Yogi concluded by stating that Uttar Pradesh ranks first in the country in multiple sectors, including food grain, sugarcane, and potato production, ethanol output, ease of doing business, project financing, income tax returns, GeM portal procurement, skill development, MSME growth, PM Awas Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Svamitva Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, and life and accident insurance schemes. He claimed that UP was playing a pivotal role in PMs mission to make India a $5 trillion economy. He also said that UP is currently the second-largest economy in the country and is poised to become number one soon. Discussing fiscal management, the Chief Minister emphasised that over the past eight years, Uttar Pradesh's economy has been strengthened without placing any additional burden on the public or increasing taxes.

Marriage does not grant husband ownership over his wife: Allahabad HC
PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad High Court has refused to quash a criminal case against a man accused of uploading an intimate video of himself and his wife on Facebook, observing that marriage does not grant a husband ownership or control over his wife, nor does it dilute her autonomy or right to privacy. Dismissing an application filed for quashing the charge sheet, Justice Vinod Diwakar observed, By uploading an intimate video on Facebook, the applicant (husband) has gravely breached the sanctity of the marital relationship.A husband is expected to honour the trust, faith, and confidence reposed in him by his wife, particularly in the context of their intimate relationship. The act of sharing such content amounts to a violation of the inherent confidentiality that defines the bond between husband and wife. This breach of trust undermines the very foundation of the marital relationship and is not protected by the marital bond, the court added. The court further said, A wife is not an extension of her husband but an individual with her own rights, desires, and agency.Respecting her bodily autonomy and privacy is not just a legal obligation but a moral imperative in fostering a truly equal relationship. A case was filed against one Pradumn Yadav under section 67 of the IT Act in Mirzapur district by his wife alleging that Yadav, without her knowledge and consent, made an obscene video of an intimate act performed between them from his mobile, firstly uploaded on Facebook and thereafter shared with the cousin of his wife and other co-villagers. Counsel for applicant submitted that the applicant is the legally wedded husband of the complainant and, therefore, no offence under Section 67 of the IT Act has been made out qua applicant. There are fair chances of compromise between the husband and wife. However, the Additional Government Advocate opposed the argument on the grounds that even though the complainant is the legally wedded wife of the applicant, the applicant has no right to make an obscene video of her and circulate it to the cousin and other co-villagers.
The Allahabad high court has ruled that marriage does not give a husband control over his wife's autonomy and privacy. The court upheld a case against a man who posted an intimate video of his wife on Facebook, stressing the violation of trust and confidentiality in their relationship.

He was arrested from Subhash Chowk in the Civil Lines area of Prayagraj, he said. The SP said, Kumar had installed a special software on his phone and laptop, which kept the front screen off while recording videos in the background. He allegedly used this method to blackmail students. The investigation found that he first sexually exploited a fourth-class female staff member in 2019, followed by seven to eight female students, using the recorded videos to intimidate and coerce them, the SP said. The officer said Kumar lured students by promising higher marks, academic promotions and job placements. He often gifted them expensive items and money to gain their trust. Once he developed a close rapport, he sexually exploited them in his office chamber and secretly recorded their intimate moments using his software. Victims remained unaware of the recordings until they were later used for blackmail. Even after the students graduated, he allegedly continued to threaten and exploit them, Sinha added. According to the police, Kumar joined Bagla College as a lecturer in 2001 and became the Head of the Geography Department in 2016. In July 2024, he was appointed as the college's Chief Proctor. His marriage in 1996 was reportedly troubled and he had no children. He allegedly attempted to remarry and once engaged in a physical relationship with a woman who visited his home. That incident was accidentally recorded on his computer's webcam, giving him the idea to systematically exploit students by secretly recording intimate moments, the police said. The court will soon be presented with the case as the police continue their investigation into his actions and digital records, the officials added.
