Allahabad High Court Orders UP DGP to Report on Ex-SP Accused of Threatening Judge in 1988

The bench set a December 9 deadline for a personal affidavit on B.K. Bhola’s status, including any action taken after the trial court’s 1988 remarks.

The court also took note of the remarks recorded by the presiding officer in the decades-old judgment. (For Representation)

Overview

  • The order by Justices J.J. Munir and Sanjiv Kumar revives findings from a 1988 sessions judgment in Lalitpur that recorded threats by then SP B.K. Bhola to the trial judge.
  • The court directed the Uttar Pradesh DGP to state whether Bhola is alive, in service or on pension, and to provide his particulars and address if living.
  • The affidavit must also detail what action, if any, followed the trial judge’s recommendation for departmental proceedings against the officer.
  • The High Court cited the original judge LN Rai, who wrote that the SP threatened to drag him to a police station and had behaved like a goon.
  • The issue surfaced during a criminal appeal by Brindawan and others against 1988 murder convictions, with the matter now listed for hearing on December 9, 2025.
