Center Owned by Express Publications (Madurai) Ltd.Civil liberties in Uttar Pradesh 'shameful': Allahabad HC
What's behind this
The Allahabad High Court criticised the Uttar Pradesh police for a ‘shameful’ civil‑liberties situation, saying the force shows little regard for citizens’ fundamental rights. Hearing a habeas‑corpus plea, Justices Atul Sreedharan and Achal Sachdev described unlawful detention as a routine violation and ordered the petitioner’s release, directing the state to pay ₹20,000. The court also flagged repeated claims of missing police CCTV footage as an excuse.
