The UP Government Today (Dec 12) informed the Supreme Court that it might revisit existing criminal cases where its stringent anti-gangsters law was invoked and new guidelines were being formulated on how to apply its provisions. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan told additional solicitor general K M Nataraj, representing the government, that some of the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act appeared to be “draconian”.
