The Supreme Court of India today (December 4) observed that the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act appeared to be draconian. The observation by a bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan came while it was hearing a plea filed by a man who has challenged an Allahabad High Court order of May 2023 dismissing his application seeking to set aside proceedings against him pending before a district court in Kasganj in a case registered under the Act.
