Notable Judgments — July 2025
High Court Bar Association Allahabad vs State Of U.P.
| Case No. | Special Appeal No. 208 of 2025 |
| Citation | 2025:AHC-LKO:37561-DB |
| Date | 3 July 2025 |
| Bench | Hon’ble Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Hon’ble Justice Shree Prakash Singh |
| Subject | Fee Transparency for Photo Affidavit Identification Numbers |
The Division Bench addressed whether bar associations could collect amounts exceeding those prescribed in an official memorandum dated 22.11.2024 for identification number generation in court proceedings. The court held that no litigant is compelled to deposit any amount beyond the prescribed fees and directed bar associations to remodel their receipts within 15 days to clearly separate mandatory identification fees from voluntary welfare contributions.
Key Legal Principle: Prescribed fee structures in court proceedings must be strictly followed. Bar associations cannot bundle voluntary contributions with mandatory fees, and courts will enforce transparency in fee collection.
