💨 Abstract

The Allahabad High Court directed the Uttar Pradesh DGP to issue a circular banning police officers from demanding money for filing counter affidavits. This action followed allegations that an investigation officer, Madhusudan Verma, had demanded Rs 3,000 from a case party. The court found Verma's denials unsatisfactory and ordered an inquiry by the DGP, with the next hearing scheduled for July 23. The court condemned such practices as deplorable.
