Allahabad High Court Warns District Judges Over Delay In Installing Fire Safety Equipment In Courts

The Allahabad High Court has warned several district judges in Uttar Pradesh over delays in responding to directions on installing fire-fighting equipment in court premises.

Expressing strong displeasure, the Bench of Justices Rajan Roy and Abdhesh Kumar Chaudhary granted a final two-week deadline, cautioning that stringent orders may follow in case of non-compliance.

The Court noted that despite repeated communications from the High Court and State Government, proposals and responses from multiple districts remain pending.

The matter will be heard next on January 27, 2026.
