The Allahabad High Court today (6th Jan) extended the stay on Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair’s arrest until January 16, 2025, regarding an FIR based on his social media post about Yati Narsinghanand’s inflammatory speech. Zubair argues his post was a freedom of speech exercise, not inciting violence, amid state claims of misinformation.
The Allahabad High Court questions the UP police’s conclusion that former SP lawmaker Rameshwar Singh Yadav committed rape, as he was allegedly in the legislative assembly at the time. The court has directed the Investigating Officer to explain this and has granted bail to one of the accused due to the unexplained case filing delay.
The Allahabad High Court acquitted three individuals in a 44-year-old murder case, citing a lack of sufficient evidence. The Court emphasized the importance of a fair judicial process, emphasizing the burden of proof on the prosecution and the need to consider the rights of the accused. The acquittal was based on doubts raised regarding the case.
