The Allahabad High Court has set aside the conviction of Abbas Ansari, son of Mukhtar Ansari, in a 2022 hate speech case. Justice Samir Jain quashed the two-year jail term imposed by the special MP-MLA court.
The Allahabad High Court dismissed ex-MLA Abbas Ansari’s plea challenging a forensic report in a 2022 hate speech case, deeming it unnecessary since the trial had concluded. The court highlighted that the petition could not be entertained post-trial, marking a setback for Ansari amid ongoing legal issues.
