Allahabad HC rejects SP leader's plea
A former leader named Irfan Solanki from the Samajwadi Party in Kanpur asked the court to stop a case against him.
The case says he is a gang leader under a special law called the Gangster Act.
The court listened to both sides and decided not to stop the case.
Irfan is currently out on bail, which means he is free but has to follow certain rules.
The case was started in December 2022, and the court made its decision after thinking about it for some time.
Allahabad High Court dismissed Irfan Solanki's plea to quash proceedings under the Gangster Act.
Irfan Solanki is a former Samajwadi Party MLA from Kanpur.
The case was registered at Jajmau police station in December 2022.
