New Delhi: The Division Bench of Allahabad high court on Monday directed the Uttar Pradesh government to file a reply as a counter-affidavit to a writ petition filed by senior journalist Qurban Ali in the 1987 Maliana village massacre where 72 Muslims in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh died. The case has come to a standstill in the trial court as key court papers, including the First Information Report, went missing.
The concepts of transit remand and norms for inter-state arrests are being widely discussed in the wake of the arrest of 21-year old climate activist Disha Ravi by the Delhi Police from her.
