Criminal Revision (Allahabad High Court, CRLR No. 7914 of 2025, Anil Gangwar v. State of U.P. and Another, Abdul Shahid, J., February 24, 2026) - Dismissed. The revisionist, facing Session Trial No. 174 of 2025 (arising out of Case Crime No. 272 of 2024) under Section 3(1) of the U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 - with Case Crime No. 67 of 2024 under Sections 302, 34, 203, 404 and 411 I.P.C. also registered against him - challenged the order dated 11.09.2025 of the Additional Sessions Judge/Fast Track Court (II), Amroha, by which his discharge application was rejected and charge was framed the same day. Placing reliance on Sanni Mishra @ Sanjayan Kumar Mishra v. State of U.P. and others, 2023: AHC: 235826-DB (Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No. 16258 of 2023), counsel contended that no satisfaction had been recorded, that the District Magistrate violated Rule 16(3) of the Gangsters Act, and that competent authorities forwarding or approving a gang chart must record satisfaction in clear words and not merely by signing a printed or typed format. The learned A.G.A. opposed, contending the revision had become infructuous since a detailed order rejecting the discharge application was passed after hearing on 11.09.2025 and had not been set aside by any competent court. Holding that there was neither any illegality nor irregularity in the impugned order, the Court dismissed the criminal revision.

HON'BLE ABDUL SHAHID, J.

Heard learned counsel for the revisionist.

¶10

The present criminal revision has been filed by the revisionist against the order dated 11.09.2025 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge/Fast Track Court (II), Amroha in Session Trial No.174 of 2025 arising out of Case Crime No. 272 of 2024, under section 3(1) of the U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986.

¶11

Learned counsel for the revisionist submits that the charge has been framed against the revisionist under Section 3(1) of the U.P. Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986. It is further submitted that Case Crime No. 67 of 2024, under Sections 302, 34, 203, 404, and 411 I.P.C., is already registered against the revisionist/accused.

¶12

Learned counsel for the revisionist has also filed a copy of the judgment and order dated 13.12.2023 passed by a Division Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No. 16258 of 2023, Sanni Mishra @ Sanjayan Kumar Mishra vs. State of U.P. and others , 2023: AHC: 235826-DB . It is submitted that no satisfaction has been recorded and that the District Magistrate has violated Rule 16(3) of the Gangsters Act. It is further submitted that while forwarding or approving the gang chart, the competent authorities must record their required satisfaction in clear words and not merely by signing a printed or typed format.

¶13

Per contra, learned A.G.A. opposes the submissions and submits that the charge has already been framed against the revisionist. It is contended that the present criminal revision has become infructuous as the discharge application filed by the revisionist was rejected on 11.09.2025. The learned trial court, after providing due opportunity of hearing to the revisionist/accused, passed a detailed order dated 11.09.2025 rejecting the discharge application. Thereafter, the charge was framed on the same date. The said order rejecting the discharge application has not been set aside by any competent
