SC suspends ex-BSP MP Afzal Ansari's conviction in Gangsters Act case
The Supreme Court suspended the conviction of former BSP MP Afzal Ansari in a 2007 Gangsters Act case, allowing him to regain his membership in Parliament. Ansari was convicted under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act. The court ruled that Ansari can attend parliamentary proceedings but cannot vote or receive any perks. The court also directed the Allahabad High Court to decide on Ansari's appeal by June 30, 2024. One justice dissented from the majority verdict and denied Ansari's plea for a stay of conviction.
