Allahabad High Court Quashes Gang Chart Over Procedural Lapses in Bahraich
The Allahabad High Court criticized the Bahraich Superintendent of Police and District Magistrate for approving a gang chart under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters Act without proper consideration or fairness.

The court emphasized the need for senior authorities to apply discretion and fairness in such cases.
