Allahabad HC Extends Interim Orders Passed By It & Courts Subordinate To It Till July 10 [Read Order]

Further, orders of eviction, dispossession or demolition shall remain in abeyance and orders of anticipatory bail expiring on or before June 10, shall be extended till July 10.

Regular bail orders expiring on or before June 14 also stand extended till July 10.

The order has been passed by a division bench comprised by Justice Govind Mathur and Justice Ramesh Sinha in a suo moto case, to ensure that litigants do not suffer on account of their "inability to approach the Courts of law".

The High Court had earlier extended all orders till June 29, 2020 and the matter was to be taken up for review on June 30. However, the same being declared as a holiday, the court has decided the situation will be reviewed on July 6, 2020 and it is intimated that all interim orders, etc. will remain in force until July 10.

"Wherever the date is shown as "29th June, 2020" in the directions issued on 8th June, 2020 be read as "10th July, 2020"," the order states.

In effect:

All interim orders passed by the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad well as at Lucknow, all the District Courts, Civil Courts, Family Courts, Labour Courts, Industrial Tribunals and all other Tribunals in the State over which this Court has power of superintendence, which have been expired subsequent to 19th March, 2020 or are due to expire within a period of one month from today, will continue to operate upto July 10, 2020. We, however, make it clear that those interim orders which are not of a limited duration and are to operate till further orders will remain unaffected

If a bail has been granted in anticipation as an interim measure for a specific period and that period is going to expire on or before 10th June, 2020, the same shall stand extended upto July 10, 2020.

If any under trial or juvenile in conflict has been enlarged on bail through a judicial order and the period for such enlargement is going to expire on or before 14th June, 2020, the same shall stand extended upto July 10, 2020.

If any orders of eviction, dispossession or demolition are already passed by the High Court, District or Civil Courts, the same shall remain in abeyance till July 10, 2020 or having any order order by the court competent, whichever is earlier.
