The Allahabad High Court dismissed murder accused Mevalal Prajapati’s bail plea while strongly criticising rising criminal case pendency in Uttar Pradesh district courts, holding the State government and police authorities largely responsible for prolonged judicial delays in criminal proceedings.
The Allahabad High Court has transferred 14 judicial officers in Uttar Pradesh, including Sambhal CJM Vibhanshu Sudheer, in a routine administrative reshuffle. The transfer comes shortly after his order directing registration of an FIR against senior police officials over the November 2024 Sambhal violence.
