From ‘cows exhale oxygen’ to ‘postpone polls’: 5 times Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav made headlines

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav has been grabbing headlines for the observations he makes while hearing cases.

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav, whose "suggestion" to the Election Commission to ban poll rallies and postpone the UP Assembly elections due to the Covid threat made national headlines, is no stranger to such newsmaking remarks.

In his December 23 order in a bail plea, Justice Yadav not only called on the Allahabad High Court administration to reduce the number of cases heard in each courtroom, but also suggested that the Election Commission and the Indian government should consider banning political rallies and postponing the UP Assembly election due to the Covid threat.
