SC stays Allahabad HC order over lockdown in Uttar Pradesh

In an important development, the Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed the Allahabad High Court order for two weeks, where the HC directed the state government to impose a weeklong lockdown in 5 major Covid-19 affected cities – Allahabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi and Gorakhpur – of Uttar Pradesh.

Following the HC’s order, the State government on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court, challenging the High Court’s order to impose lockdowns in its five worst-affected cities. With this, the SC granted an interim stay on the High Court’s order.

However, the Yogi Adityanath government has imposed a weekend lockdown in the state to deal with skyrocketing Covid-19 cases. Besides, the government has also directed that night curfew will remain in all the 75 districts from 8 PM to 7 AM daily.
