UP Govt Restrains Police Contact in Pending Cases
The Uttar Pradesh government told the police to stop talking to people and lawyers about cases that are still in court.
This happened because the High Court was worried that the police were interfering.
The government made new rules to stop this.
The court liked the rules, but it worried if they would be followed.
One case involved an elderly man who said police bothered him about a petition.
The court is checking on how the rules will be used.
UP government issued a circular to restrain police from contacting parties and lawyers in pending matters.
The Allahabad High Court directed the UP government to formulate statewide directions.
The guidelines prohibit police from contacting petitioners without lawful authority.
The court acknowledged the government's guidelines but raised implementation concerns.
Disciplinary action was taken against officers allegedly involved in intimidation.
