Orders that set the bar: How Allahabad HC stood for civil rights

Hindustan Times  

On Monday, January 25, the Supreme Court reminded the Uttar Pradesh government that a high court is also a constitutional court and cannot be taken lightly. Here are some instances in corroboration of how the high court took a stand: Anti-CAA protesters’ posters/banners The HC had in March 2020 taken strong exception to banners being put up by the state government to recover damages from those allegedly involved in the destruction of public property during protests against the Citizenship Act,or CAA, in Lucknow. Calling the state government’s move an “absolute encroachment on personal liberty,” the HC ordered the UP government to immediately remove the hoardings and submit a compliance report to the court. Govt drops anti-conversion charge after HC protection In December, the high court restrained the state government from arresting a 32-year-old Muslim man from Muzaffarnagar district -- one of the first to be charged under UP’s controversial anti-conversion law. She, as well as the petitioner, have a fundamental right to privacy and being grown-up adults who are aware of the consequences of their alleged relationship.” Later, in January, the state government told the high court that the police had dropped charges against him since no evidence was found during investigation.
