Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the
Allahabad High Court on Wednesday fixed April 13 as the next date of
hearing the case pertaining to blockade of road and rail
tracks by Jats agitating for reservation in jobs.
A division bench comprising Justices Umanath Singh and
Virendra Kumar Dixit fixed the next date today after a status
report was submitted by the Centre, state government and
the Railways through their lawyers.
The matter had came up for the hearing on March 18
after Chief Justice Allabahad High Court FI Rebello took
suo-motu cognisance of the matter directing the Lucknow
bench to hear the matter as public interest litigation.
The court had directed the government to ensure that
the affected railway tracks and national highways be cleared
soon.
