Allahabad High Court Orders Inquiry into Police Oversight
News summary

The Allahabad High Court has initiated an inquiry into the Uttar Pradesh Police and related offices over their failure to disclose crucial evidence in a case against Mahant Mukesh Giri, accused of secretly filming women while they bathed. Justice Vikram D. Chauhan expressed that the non-disclosure constitutes an interference with justice and mandated that an officer of at least Principal Secretary rank investigate the matter. Giri was arrested after a woman reported a CCTV camera in a changing room at a ghat in Ghaziabad, leading to police claims of inappropriate footage found on his mobile. Despite a court order for the prosecution to provide evidence, the State's counter-affidavit lacked relevant material, only including a letter from the National Commission for Women. The court's concerns came to light during Giri's anticipatory bail plea, with the next hearing scheduled for September 12, 2024. This inquiry underscores the need for accountability in the legal process and adherence to court orders.
