“Playing mischief upon the Constitution” Uttar Pradesh Ordinance on compensation for damage to property challenged before Allahabad High Court

#UPOrdinance #allahabadhighcourt @myogiadityanath

barandbench.com/news/playing-m…
The Ordinance envisions the setting up of Claims Tribunals, which will adjudicate on complaints of damage to both public and private property caused during riots.
Section 19(2) of the Ordinance states once a Claims Tribunal passes an order for recovery of damages, the name, address and photograph of the person found responsible shall be published.
The petition filed by Shashank Shri Tripathi claims that the Ordinance is a move by the state government “to evade from justifying itself from court of law”, and that by passing such Ordinance, “the State has played mischief upon the Constitution”.
Tripathi claims that the setting up of the Claims Tribunal is beyond the Ordinance making power conferred under Article 213(1) of the Constitution. It also contended that the same is in violation of Article 323B, which lays down the purposes for which tribunals can be formed.

Centre's affidavit starts by quoting the Passports Act of 1920 and a host of other legislations. It also refers to the Nehru Liaqat Agreement was signed by Heads of Governments of India & Pakistan to protect religious minorities. #CAA_NPR_NRC

Dozens of villages in West UP lead hellish lives as a highly polluting industry has killed the river irrigating their region and has contaminated groundwater+soil to the extent they've given up groundwater consumption entirely.

My report for @SwarajyaMag coming shortly.
#Meerut's slaughterhouses first killed their river.

Now meat plants have contaminated their groundwater to the extent that they had to stop its use entirely.

My report from Western #UttarPradesh of a highly polluting industry and the state's abdication. swarajyamag.com/politics/groun…
This is state of groundwater in villages affected by slaughterhouses and meat plants in #Meerut's #Kharkhauda.

Govt has set up overhead water tanks away from villages with piped connections to villages BUT that's it. Villagers maintain those tanks w/ their own money.
