The Allahabad High Court deferred proceedings regarding a forcible eviction that took place in 2016 at a Rampur orphanage. The hearing is now set for July 28, marking another chapter in a complex legal saga involving prominent political figures.
Justice Samir Jain, presiding over the case, heard petitions filed by Mohammad Islam and another, with counsel for former Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan also linking his petition. Khan and others face accusations following 12 FIRs related to the disputed demolition of orphanage structures.
This consolidation of cases has led to a singular trial process, where allegations include dacoity and criminal conspiracy. Despite setbacks in recalling prosecution witnesses, defense attorneys emphasize the importance of videographic evidence that may demonstrate their clients' innocence.
