PRAYAGRAJ, April 4 -- The Allahabad high court has sought an explanation from the additional chief secretary (home), UP, over not adding the usual honorific "Hon'ble" before the name of a Union minister while mentioning his name in an FIR lodged in Mathura last year. To be sure, the Union minister is not an accused in the case; the FIR said the main accused used his name to take money from people on the pretext of giving them a job. Hearing the matter on March 31, a two-judge bench of justices JJ Munir and Tarun Saxena passed the order after hearing a petition filed by one Harshit Sharma and two others, seeking the quashing of an FIR registered against them at the Highway police station in Mathura. "The Additional Chief Secretary, (Home), Government of U.P., Lucknow will explain on his affidavit why in the FIR the Hon'ble Union Minister, whose name figures, has not been described with the usual honorific of Hon'ble, and at one point, referred to just by his name without even appending a 'Mr'," the bench observed in its order. "Even if in the written report, the Hon'ble Minister was inappropriately described by the first informant, while writing the FIR, it was the duty of the Police to have abided by the protocol by inserting the honorific, may be in brackets," the bench added. The court directed the registrar (compliance) to communicate the order to the UP additional chief secretary (home) and the Mathura SSP within 48 hours, and fixed April 6 for the next hearing....
