Sambhal CJM who ordered FIR against cops for 2024 violence case transferred
CJM Vibhanshu Sudheer was among 14 judicial officers transferred by the Allahabad HC. He had ordered an FIR against then Circle Officer Anuj Chaudhary and SHO in connection with the shooting of a youth during the violence
What followed was a year-and-a-half-long struggle against a police system that eventually forced Prasad to knock on the doors of the Allahabad High Court after “seeing no ray of hope”. The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday transferred 14 judicial officers, including the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Sambhal Vibhanshu Sudheer.
Aditya Singh, the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Sambhal at Chandausi, has replaced Sudheer.
Sudheer, who has now been made Civil Judge, Senior Division, Sultanpur, had on January 9 ordered Sambhal police to lodge an FIR against then Circle Officer (CO) Anuj Chaudhary and SHO in connection with the shooting of a youth during the November 2024 Sambhal violence. The Sambhal police have said they will move the Allahabad High Court against the CJM court’s order.
In the transfer order released by Registrar General of Allahabad High Court, Harendra Nath, Additional District & Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Kannauj, has been made Additional District & Sessions Judge/Special Judge, Kannauj in the exclusive POCSO case Court, replacing Alaka Yadav, who will be joining as Additional District & Sessions Judge/Special Judge, Gonda.
