💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court quashed a case against three individuals under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters Act, stating that the right to life and liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution cannot be overlooked due to criminal charges. The court found that the cases against persons invoking the Act must be serious and not run-of-the-mill. The court also emphasized that more stringent provisions require strict adherence, and allegations must be backed by substantial evidence.
