Dated: July 10, 2008 Heard Sri Manish Arora, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri M.A. Khan, learned brief holder for the State. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought quashing of the first information report dated 18.6.2008 registered as Case Crime No. 79/2008 relating to offence punishable under Section2/3 of U.P. Gangsters & Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 with P.S. Pathri, Distt. Hardwar. Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that there is a single case shown against the petitioner in the gang chart and that is not sufficient to show “activities” required for the purposes of constituting the offence punishable u/s 2/3 of U.P. Gangsters & Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986. However, having gone through the contents of the FIR and the seriousness of the allegations, we are not inclined to interfere in the present matter. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed summarily. (Stay Application No. 4186/08 also stands dismissed) (Dharam Veer, J.) (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) 10.07.2008 Rajeev Dang
