High Court Condemns Interference in Justice

The Allahabad High Court has identified interference with court access as a significant obstruction to justice, considered criminal contempt. This follows a PIL by Amit Singh Parihar, alleging illegal activities related to government trees and threats against him. Respondent Narendra Singh must appear in court for proceedings.

The Allahabad High Court highlighted interference with court access as a critical obstacle to justice, amounting to 'criminal contempt.' This statement emerged from a case involving allegations of illegal government tree felling in Fatehpur, raised by Amit Singh Parihar.

Parihar's PIL accused respondent Narendra Singh of intimidating him and manipulating local police to thwart his legal pursuit.

The court has mandated Singh to present himself on August 13, alongside requiring the Fatehpur SP to submit a detailed affidavit regarding alleged police biases and misconduct.
