HC directs UP govt to appoint man accused of sedition and acquitted later as judge

Deccan Chronicle  

Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to appoint as an additional district judge a man who was denied appointment on the ground that he had faced two trials regarding alleged charges of spying for Pakistan as well as for sedition. Passing the order on a writ petition filed by Kumar, a two-judge bench comprising justices Saumitra Dayal Singh and Donadi Ramesh observed, "The petitioner was 'honourably acquitted' at two criminal trials faced by him and no element of truth was found in the prosecution story, in either case." The high court it its order dated December 6, said, "In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, we dispose of this writ petition with the direction to the respondent No.1 to place the matter of appointment of the petitioner in the Higher Judicial Service of the State of U.P. The court also observed, "No material exists with the state respondents to reach a conclusion that the petitioner may have worked for any foreign intelligence agency." Once, the charged person is "honourably acquitted", after full appraisal of all prosecution evidence, that presumption is confirmed and sealed, by judicial pronouncement made, it said, adding none may look beyond it.
