Ex-IPS Officer Amitabh Thakur Moves Allahabad HC Against Union Govt's 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' Notification

In a recent ruling, the Allahabad High Court addressed a petition by former IPS officer Amitabh Thakur challenging a Union Government notification that designated January 30 as "Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas" (Constitution Murder Day). The petition argued that the notification was unconstitutional and politically motivated. Thakur contended that the day commemorates the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, which should not be associated with the Constitution. The Court noted the petition’s merit but did not grant immediate relief, highlighting that the notification's implications could be further explored in detail.
