The Supreme Court of India has issued a contempt notice to the vice‑chairman of the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) following a fire that broke out at a coaching centre in Lucknow.
The notice accuses the LDA official of interfering with the court’s investigation into the incident and obstructing the delivery of justice.
The coaching centre, which had been operating without proper fire safety measures, suffered extensive damage when a fire broke out on the premises, prompting a swift response from local authorities.
The court has directed the LDA vice‑chairman to appear before it within a specified period and to provide a full explanation of the alleged interference. The notice is part of a broader inquiry into the safety lapses that led to the blaze.
The LDA has yet to comment on the contempt notice, while the Supreme Court remains vigilant in ensuring that all parties comply with its directives.
