Allahabad HC Directs UP Police to Treat Government Advocates Respectfully, Warns of Contempt
The Allahabad High Court directed the Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police to issue a circular warning officers that misbehaviour with government advocates conveying court orders constitutes contempt of court. This followed an incident where Public Relations Officer Rajesh Kumar Singh was taken into court custody for allegedly misbehaving with an additional government advocate. The court appreciated the prompt action taken by the police, including Singh's removal as PRO. The order arose during a bail hearing of Sachin Yadav, whose plea was rejected.
