Lucknow, Oct 10 (PTI) The Allahabad High Court expressed displeasure on Friday over the Uttar Pradesh government's failure to clearly state what action it would take if a political party organised a caste-based rally, despite earlier directions.

The court had banned such rallies on July 11, 2013.

The Lucknow bench of the court directed the state government to either file a detailed affidavit within three days in compliance with its August 7, 2024 order or ensure the presence of the principal secretary concerned on the next date of hearing.

The matter will now be heard on October 30.

A bench of Justices Rajan Roy and Rajiv Bharti was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) plea filed by advocate Motilal Yadav, seeking the enforcement of the ban on caste-based rallies in the state.
