UP govt seems determined to use Goonda Act as tool of harassment: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has criticised the Uttar Pradesh government's use of the Goonda Act. The court observed the stringent law was used as a tool for harassment. It quashed an order declaring Zahid Ali a goonda and externing him. The court noted an acquitted case was wrongly used against Ali. This ruling highlights the need for caution when invoking the powerful Goonda Act.
