Allahabad High Court Quashes Detention of Noida Labour Protester
Confirmed
In Short: The Allahabad High Court has quashed the detention of a 25-year-old woman involved in a labour protest in Noida, imposing a fine of Rs 5 lakh on the state for the unlawful action.
The Allahabad High Court has overturned the detention of a 25-year-old woman who was involved in a labour protest in Noida, confirming the decision through Additional Government Advocate Nitesh Kumar Srivastava, who did not comment on the compensation awarded or the Court's observations.
Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves, representing the woman, announced that the High Court has imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh on the state for the unlawful detention, with the penalty to be recovered from officials involved in sanctioning the detention, from the District Magistrate to the SHO, according to another lawyer, Manik Gupta.
Advocate Rajnish Yadav, who is handling the bail pleas in Noida court, stated that while she has secured bail in five cases, the bail hearings for six other FIRs in which she is named are still pending in the High Court.
The decision comes as the High Court of Justice in Israel also made a ruling, deciding that the entire Central Elections Committee, not just its chair, will decide on the use of polling station workers and party-appointed election observers to send information about voters who have cast their ballots to party campaign headquarters, a move that was criticized by the attorney representing the Likud party.
