Court Dismisses Case Over Concealed Filings
3 Nov
Summary
- Two petitions were dismissed due to concealed parallel proceedings.
- Petitioner faced costs for suppressing facts and misleading the court.
- The court issued an apology to the Bareilly police chief.
The Allahabad High Court has dismissed two habeas corpus petitions filed by Omendra Yadav, citing his concealment of earlier proceedings. The court imposed costs of Rs 50,000 on Yadav for suppressing facts and misleading the court, directing the payment to Bareilly's Senior Superintendent of Police, Anurag Arya.
Initially, Yadav alleged illegal detention from May 8 to May 13. When CCTV footage was requested, the state cited a storm destroying the DVR. The court questioned this explanation and summoned Arya. However, it was later discovered that Yadav had filed a second petition on May 26 without disclosing the first, prompting the court to regret its earlier criticism of Arya and dismiss both petitions.
