No Distinct Offence Under U.P. Gangsters & Anti-Social Activities Act | Convictions Based Solely on Gang Charts Quashed : SC
Supreme Court ruled the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, creates no distinct offence, so charge-sheets based solely on a gang chart are unconstitutional. All pending prosecutions relying only on such charts are therefore quashed.
