Just In: Allahabad High Court 'dismisses PIL with ₹1,00,000 cost' that had sought direction to the UP CM @myogiadityanath to disclose his full and actual name in the public domain & to refrain from using the word 'Yogi' as title in his official communication.

The petitioner namely Namaha who had impleaded CM as 'Adityanath' in this PIL, had alleged that the CM had been using different names at different places on different occasions and more than 25 crore residents of the Uttar Pradesh want to know his real and correct name.
Court dismissed the petition noting that being a political person, Namaha deliberately chose to conceal his identity while filing the writ petition, apparently with some ulterior motive or cheap publicity.
Allegedly, Namaha was a candidate from Delhi's Laxmi Nagar Assembly Constituency in the elections held in 2020 on a ticket of 'Lok Janshakti Party'. This fact was also concealed from the Court.
"To discourage filing of such frivolous petitions, in our opinion, the petitioner deserves to be burdened with cost of ₹1,00,000," Court ordered.
