HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW WRIT - C No. - 4013 of 2024 Court No. - 3 HON'BLE SHEKHAR B. SARAF, J. HON'BLE PRASHANT KUMAR, J. 1. We have heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. 2. In the present writ petition, the petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the authorities in taking back the security that had been provided to the petitioner from the year 2013 till 2023. 3. Learned counsel on behalf of the petitioner submits that the orders dated 15th March, 2024 passed by the Deputy Secretary (Home), Government of U.P. and order dated 30.01.2024 passed by the Commissioner, Basti Mandal, Basti are both based on an order passed by the District Level Committee dated 29th January, 2024. Learned counsel further submits that the premise on which the security was rejected by the District Level Committee is provided at paragraph 20 of the said order, which is delineated herein-below:- "20- सुरWा Šदान करने के सĞबęध मȅ िजला सिमित की कारण सिहत ĥपǸ संĥतुितः- ũी तेज Šताप िसह के बíे भाई ũी ɭगȆश कु मार िसह की हĕया िदनांक 14-03-13 को मुहġला लौिकहवा थाना Wेś कोतवाली मȅ कर दी गई, िजसके सĞबęध मȅ मु०अ०सं० 307/13 धारा 302/307/504/506 भा०द०िव० का अिभयोग मायाराम चौधरी पुś जगनरायन चौधरी व उसके दो लडके व भाई सािकनान लौिकहवा थाना Wेś कोतवाली के िबɳǪ पंजीकृ त कराया गया था, िजसमȅ जनपदीय ęयायालय DZारा अिभयुǘȋ को सजा दी गयी है। वतăमान समय मȅ अिभयुǘगण जेल मȅ हȈ। उċच ĥतिरय सिमित DZारा ũी िसह को िदनांक 24.11.2022 से 06 माह के िलए 10 Šित० िनजी Dzय पर एक सुरWा कमȃ Šदǥ कराया गया था, िजसकी अविध िदनांक 23-05-2023 Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Nadeem Murtaza, Abhishek Dwivedi, Dr. Pooja Singh Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.

He submits that the premise that the convicted persons of the crime of the murder of the brother of the petitioner were in jail is incorrect as these persons had been granted bail by the High Court in the year 2022. The orders releasing the convicted persons are on record. 5. Upon perusal of the writ petition, it is clear that the order passed by the District Level Committee is based on a false premise that the convicted persons were in jail. 6. In light of the same, we are of the view that the District Level Committee should be directed to once again grant an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and thereafter pass a reasoned order in accordance with law within a period of 12 weeks from date. The impugned orders dated 15.03.2024, 30.01.2024 and 23.12.2023 are all quashed and set aside. 7. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of.
