Allahabad HC puts FIR against Lucknow journalist on hold
On Wednesday, the Allahabad High Court granted a stay on an FIR filed against a journalist. The reporter had highlighted claims of unsanitary conditions and inadequate infrastructure at a school located in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The court remarked that instead of treating the report as a matter of ego, the authorities should have focused on resolving the problems mentioned. The bench further stated that taking retaliatory steps is equivalent to 'killing the messenger.'
