Allahabad HC Directs Petitioners To Approach Registrar General For Use Of A4 Sheets With Double-Sided Printing In Court Filings [Read Order]

The Allahabad High Court on Monday directed a writ petitioner to make a representation before the Registrar General with respect to utilization of A-4 size paper with printing on both sides in official as well as judicial functioning in all the courts across the state of Uttar Pradesh. "The petitioner however, is at liberty to submit a detailed demand notice to the respondents and on denial of that or having no result thereon within a reasonable time, the petitioners may approach under Article 226 of the Constitution," a division bench comprised of Chief Justice Govind Mathur and Justice Ramesh Sinha ordered. The Petitioners had approached the Court with a view to downsize environmental degradation, by eliminating unnecessary and excess use of paper, which directly equates to, inter alia, the cutting of trees, depletion and over-exploitation of forests and water resources, and also large-scale pollution. 665/2020 Quorum: Chief Justice Govind Mathur and Justice Ramesh Sinha Appearance: Advocates Ankur Azad and Shashwat Anand ; CSC Ashish Mishra Read Order
