Bench: Justice BR Gavai and Justice KV Viswanathan

#UPGangstersAct Image
Senior Adv R Basant (appears for Petitioner): Whether only on basis of one base case another case under the act can be registered by the police itself. Furthermore, police is complainant, prosecutor and adjudicator under provisions of the act. Please note. This is important
