Prayagraj, Dec 11: The Allahabad High Court has stayed the transfer of Uttar Pradesh Police constable Manoj Kumar who had protested against the alleged substandard food being served at the mess at Firozabad police line.

Considering the submissions as aforesaid, the court on Tuesday observed, “The matter requires consideration. Respondents are directed to file the counter affidavit within four weeks. The petitioner shall have four weeks thereafter to file the rejoinder affidavit.” PM Narendra Modi Inaugurates Phase-I of Nagpur Metro Rail Project, Takes Train Ride; Lays Foundation Stone for Phase-II (See Pics).
