Lower court’s comment related to Yogi Adityanath removed
In March 2024, the Allahabad High Court has removed the order given by the lower court judge, in which he had said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is a suitable example of the concept given by the Greek philosopher Plato. When a religious person is in a position of power, it gives good results, because the life of a religious person is not full of pleasure and luxury, but is full of sacrifice and devotion. A single bench of Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra removed this order.
Some decisions related to women
During the hearing of a rape case in 2023, it was said that the rape victim or girl is not an accomplice. Such things and insistence on corroborating her testimony is indeed an insult to a woman.
While hearing a case in 2024, the bench of Allahabad High Court said that it is almost impossible for a woman from a middle class family to arrange even one meal in a meager amount of Rs 2500. In such a situation, the amount of her subsistence allowance should be increased to Rs 5000 per month. The court made this comment on the petition of a woman from Chandauli.
