![[Hindu Samaj Party Leader Kamlesh Tiwari Murder Case] SC Grants Bail To Accused Syed Asim Ali](https://i0.wp.com/lawchakra.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/image-2024-07-16T183438.870.png?resize=447%2C367&ssl=1)
The Supreme Court today granted bail to the accused in the Kamlesh Tiwari murder case, noting limited involvement and lack of prior antecedents. The decision considered lengthy detention, witness testimony, and bail for other co-accused, diverging from the High Court’s denial based on the murder’s brutality and communal aspects. The case title is Syed Asim Ali v. The State of Uttar Pradesh.
The Supreme Court of India recently ruled that precise proof of gang members’ involvement in anti-social activities, defined under the Indian Penal Code, is necessary for prosecution under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters Act. This overturns a previous decision, emphasizing the need to establish the accused’s engagement in such activities for charges under the Act to be sustained.
