PRAYAGRAJ: An Allahabad high court judge, Justice Sunita Agarwal, on Monday recused herself from hearing a writ petition filed by wife and daughter of Javed Mohammad alias Javed Pump, an accused of the June 10 violence in Prayagraj which erupted after the Friday namaz, against the demolition of his house by the district administration and Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA).
On Monday, when the writ petition filed by Parveen Fatima and Summaiya Fatima, the wife and daughter of Javed Mohammed, respectively, came up for hearing before the division bench headed by Justice Sunita Agarwal, the court said, "Let this matter be posted before another bench of which one of us (Justice Sunita Agarwal) is not a member."
