Court Rejects Jailed Gangster's Plea of Political Targeting

Jailed gangster Uday Pathak's plea for halting legal proceedings due to alleged wrongful prosecution was denied by a special court in Mumbai. The court found his claims of being targeted for being a non-Maharashtrian by political entities untenable and irrelevant in legal terms.

A Mumbai special court dismissed jailed gangster Uday Pathak's plea seeking suspension of his ongoing trials, claiming victimization by political forces for being non-Maharashtrian.

Pathak alleged false implications in several charges, including a 2011 murder, but the court deemed the claims of targeting without substance or legal merit.

The court highlighted the irrelevance of his harassment claims, ruling the plea unsustainable, while underscoring the legal framework within which the proceedings are upheld.
