Court No. - 77
HON'BLE SAURABH SRIVASTAVA, J.
1. Heard Sri Lavkush Kumar Bhatt, learned counsel for applicants and learned A.G.A. on behalf of the State.
2. This application has been preferred for quashing the Chargesheet dated 11.12.2002 along with cognizance and summoning order dated 13.12.2002 as well as entire proceedings of Special Session Trial No.4314 of 2002 (State Vs. Aslam and others), arising out of Case Crime No.459 of 2002, under Section 3(1) of The U.P. Gangster & Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Police Station Kotwali Fatehgarh, District Farrukhabad.
3. The proceedings in the present case, arising under the Gangsters Act, have been assailed by the applicants on the strength of the judgment rendered by Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Farhana vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and others [2024 0 INSC 118], on the ground that in both the base cases shown in the gang chart, the applicants stand acquitted.
4. Learned A.G.A. has fairly not disputed the fact that applicants have already been acquitted in both the base cases forming the foundation of the gang chart. However, it has been brought to the notice of this Court that in the present proceedings, the applicants have been convicted by the learned trial court concerned vide order dated 16.09.2025 and the matter now remains pending only for the determination of sentence. The said position of fact is also not disputed by learned counsel for the applicants.
5. In view of the above, once the proceedings under challenge, have already culminated into conviction of the applicants, no cause of action survives in their favour to maintain the present application.
6. Accordingly, the instant application is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous.
