Smt. Shradha Goel 2025 LiveLaw (AB) 20 [FIRST APPEAL No. - 880 of 2017] Case citation: 2025 LiveLaw (AB) 20 The Allahabad High Court has held that decision of the Trial Court/ Family Court cannot be set aside because of failure on part of the husband in leading evidence when there is no other infirmity in the order. The bench of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Donadi Ramesh held “Refusal/ failure on part of the husband to lead any evidence would not be sufficient for this Court to extend a further opportunity to the husband to adduce evidence when no procedural infirmity is shown in the proceedings of the trial court.” S. 319 CrPC | Degree Of Satisfaction To Summon Additional Accused Must Be Higher Than The Standards Required At Framing Of Charges Stage: Allahabad HC Case title - Rekha And 3 Ors. vs. State Of U.P. And 2 Ors. 2025 LiveLaw (AB) 21 Case citation: 2025 LiveLaw (AB) 21 The Allahabad High Court has observed that after the commencement of the trial, the degree of satisfaction required to be recorded by the trial court while summoning any other person as an additional accused under Section 319 CrPC should be more than the standards needed for the stage of framing of charges. A bench of Justice Manoj Bajaj added that the discretionary power u/s 319 CrPC should be exercised sparingly and with circumspection and that the evidence on record must strongly suggest more than a "prima facie" case against such a person and his involvement in the commission of the crime. Supreme Court Order Expediting Divorce Proceedings Cannot Be Taken To Deprive Wife Of Her Right To Contest: Allahabad High Court Case Title: Alka Singh Chauhan v. Shakti Singh [FIRST APPEAL No. - 473 of 2019] Case citation: 2025 LiveLaw (AB) 22 The Allahabad High Court has held that order passed by the Supreme Court expediting divorce proceedings cannot be a ground to deprive the wife of her right to contest divorce proceedings. Observing that the Family Court had not fairly adjudicated the divorce proceedings, the bench of Justice Ashwini Kumar Mishra and Justice Donadi Ramesh held “The undue hot haste in which the Court has proceeded cannot be approved of. Although there was a direction by the Supreme Court to expedite the proceedings and conclude it within six months but such direction was to resist any uncalled for adjournment claimed by the parties. The order of the Supreme Court cannot be construed as depriving the wife to contest the proceedings.” Allahabad HC Limits UP Police 'Unfettered' Power To Open History Sheets; Mandates Reasoned Orders, Objection Consideration & Yearly Review Case Citation : 2025 LiveLaw (AB) 23 In a significant order, the Allahabad High Court effectively tossed out the "unfettered powers" of the Uttar Pradesh Police to open Class-B history sheets against citizens without observing the principles of natural justice. For context, as per the UP Police Regulation, Class-B history sheets are opened for “confirmed and professional criminals, who commit a crime other than dacoity, burglary, cattle theft and theft from railway goods, wagons, e.g., professional cheats and other experts for whom criminal, personal files are maintained by the Criminal Investigation Department.
