Allahabad High Court Judge Recuses from Contempt Case Against IAS Officer Durga Shakti Nagpal
Justice Pramod Kumar Srivastava of the Allahabad High Court recused himself from a suo motu criminal contempt case involving IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal.

Nagpal acknowledged the call but said it was to inquire about Khan's leave. The case will be heard by a different bench on September 9.
