Allahabad HC bench recuses from hearing Zubair’s plea against FIR

PRAYAGRAJ A bench of justices Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Prashant Kumar of the Allahabad high court on Tuesday recused from hearing a plea moved by Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair seeking protection from arrest in a case filed by supporters of Yati Narsinghanand, the priest of Ghaziabad’s Dasna Devi Temple. In his plea before the HC, Zubair had said that his post on X did not call for violence against Narsinghanand and he was merely alerting the police authorities about his actions. The FIR against Zubair stems from a complaint filed by Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati Foundation’s general secretary Udita Tyagi, who alleged that Zubair shared an old video clip of Narsinghanand on October 3 with the intent to incite violence against him. The case was taken up on Tuesday, but the division bench recused themselves from hearing it and said, “Let the matter be placed before another bench, as fresh, after seeking nomination from the Chief Justice.” In his plea before the HC, Zubair had said that his post on X did not call for violence against Narsinghanand and he was merely alerting the police authorities about his actions..
