Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh. The court imposed the fine for not filing a counter affidavit in a case pending for seven years. The matter was heard by a bench of Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Justice Brij Raj Singh. The court, while hearing the PIL filed by petitioner Guru Prasad, imposed a fine on the Yogi government.

According to the report, the next hearing, in this case, will now be on February 21. At the same time, if the reply is not filed by the next hearing, the Principal Secretary will have to appear in the Revenue Court.
