⚖️ Allahabad HC slams UP government on Goonda Act misuse

The Allahabad High Court severely criticized the Uttar Pradesh government for allegedly weaponizing the Goonda Act. A Lucknow Bench quashed the order that labeled Zahid Ali a "goonda" and externed him from Gonda district. The order, passed by the Gonda DM on May 11, relied on a 2010 case where Ali was already acquitted. The High Court found no rational link between the 2020 case and the 2026 declaration, deeming the basis flawed. Therefore, the court legally invalidated both the DM's and commissioner's orders.
