NDTV
The order was given by Justice DK Singh while accepting the petition filed by the state government.
In a major blow to gangster-turned-politician, Mukhtar Ansari, the Allahabad High Court dismissed the March 15 order of the Ghazipur MP/MLA Court, which allowed Ansari to be kept in a superior class jail in Banda.
The order was given by Justice DK Singh while accepting the petition filed by the state government.
While giving the order, the court said the order of the special court is without jurisdiction, and gangster, dreaded criminal Bahubali Ansari is not legally entitled to get a superior class in jail.
In the petition, the validity of the order of the special court MP/MLA Court of Ghazipur was challenged which allowed Ansari to be kept at the superior jail.
