Notes

  • The Allahabad High Court directed the Uttar Pradesh government to relocate the family of the Hathras gang rape and murder victim to Ghaziabad or Noida.
  • The relocation must be completed within a three-month timeframe.
  • The court rejected the State's February 22, 2025 proposal to rehabilitate the family in Kasganj, Etah, or Aligarh, terming it 'no decision in the eyes of law' for ignoring the family's request.
  • The court cited 'unnecessary resistance' by the state in complying with previous judicial directions.
  • The Additional Chief Secretary (Home) is required to file a compliance affidavit and may be summoned to appear on November 30 if the order is not implemented.
