Section 55 Maharashtra Police Act | Externment Orders Void Without Collective Action Against Entire Gang: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court quashes externment orders under Section 55 of the Maharashtra Police Act, ruling that selective targeting of gang members based on isolated FIRs violates the statutory requirement for collective action. The judgment mandates that externment proceedings must address all members of a gang, not just individuals with prior acquittals or unrelated cases.
