# Allahabad High Court oversight of Uttar Pradesh authorities > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/allahabad-high-court-oversight-of-uttar-pradesh-authorities > Updated: 2026-09-01T17:57:33.000Z. Sources: 7. Developments: 4. The Allahabad High Court has intensified its oversight of police conduct in Uttar Pradesh, addressing specific allegations of misconduct and systemic procedural failures. Regarding a May 2025 encounter in Shravasti district, the court’s Lucknow bench ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe following a petition by Alauddin, who sustained gunshot wounds to both legs. The court expressed skepticism toward the official narrative, questioning how officers remained unscathed while suspects were shot in the legs. The bench noted such patterns might be driven by a desire for “social media praise, out-of-turn promotions, or to please senior officials,” emphasizing that the power to punish resides with the judiciary. The CBI must submit its report within three months. In a separate matter, the court ordered the Superintendent of Police in Unnao to investigate allegations of illegal detention and theft at the Hasanganj Police Station. Additionally, the court has previously flagged systemic non-compliance with the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) mandate for audio-video recording of search and seizure operations, noting the requirement is “practically not implemented.” Expanding its scrutiny of systemic issues, the court has now taken a stern stance against the quality of investigations and the frequent disregard of judicial orders. Justice Sameer Jain personally summoned Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Krishna to address delays in submitting case diaries, counter-affidavits, and essential records. The court noted that such negligence causes serious cases, including murder investigations, to linger for months, directly impacting the personal liberty of citizens. Justice Jain dismissed the DGP’s presentation of improved conviction rates, stating that statistics do not reflect the “ground reality of the flawed and biased investigations” presented to the court. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-01: Allahabad High Court summons UP DGP over poor police investigations The Allahabad High Court summoned the Uttar Pradesh DGP to address systemic failures in police investigations, delays in judicial compliance, and the impact of police negligence on citizens' personal liberties. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/allahabad-high-court-summons-up-dgp-over-poor-police-investigations ### 2026-08-31: Allahabad High Court orders probe into alleged police loot and illegal detention in Unnao The Allahabad High Court has ordered an inquiry and the preservation of CCTV footage in Unnao following allegations of illegal detention and the theft of ₹14 lakh in jewellery by police personnel. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/allahabad-high-court-orders-probe-into-alleged-police-loot-and-illegal-detention-in-unnao ### 2026-08-24: Allahabad High Court issues rulings on police compliance and departmental corruption The Allahabad High Court has issued multiple rulings addressing police non-compliance with videography mandates, corruption allegations in the education department, and rules regarding disciplinary actions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/allahabad-high-court-issues-rulings-on-police-compliance-and-departmental-corruption ### 2026-08-20: Allahabad High Court orders CBI probe into UP police encounter The Allahabad High Court has ordered a CBI probe into a Shravasti police encounter, criticizing the pattern of suspects being shot in the legs while officers remain unharmed. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/allahabad-high-court-orders-cbi-probe-into-up-police-encounter --- Cite as: Allahabad High Court oversight of Uttar Pradesh authorities.
