HC granted Bail to Advocate convicted of stalking female judge
- Case Name: Mohd Haroon vs. state of U.P
- Judge(s): Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra
- Advocate(s): Advocate Ajay Pandey and others
Lawyer Mohd. Haroon was accused of stalking and harassing a judicial officer in Hamirpur. Convicted under IPC Sections 354, 354A(IV), 354-D, and 509, he received a four-year sentence.
The issue is whether should Haroon be granted bail despite the severity of the charges.
Haroon cited exaggerated claims and his incarceration since July 2023. The prosecution emphasized ethical breaches but noted he had served over half his sentence.
The Allahabad High Court granted bail with strict conditions, including a Rs 50,000 bond and non-interference with proceedings, warning of cancellation for violations.
