Allahabad High Court Stays FIR Against Journalist Reporting School Infrastructure Issues
The Allahabad High Court has stayed an FIR against journalist Amit Yadav, who reported poor infrastructure and unhygienic conditions at a government school in Lucknow. The court described the FIR as retaliatory, calling it 'killing the messenger,' and criticized the Uttar Pradesh government for treating the issue as an 'ego issue' rather than addressing the reported shortcomings. The FIR was filed after Yadav highlighted problems such as shabby toilets and lack of drinking water at the school.
