Prayagraj, Aug 14 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Allahabad High Vourt has issued a notice to former MP Afzal Ansari on a petition filed by the Uttar Pradesh government, which has sought enhancement of his sentence in a Gangsters Act case.
Justice Raj Beer Singh has fixed August 29 as the next date of hearing.
Afzal was disqualified as an MP in May after the special court (MP-MLA) Ghazipur sentenced him to four years’ imprisonment in April and imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on him in the case.
On July 24, the high court had granted bail to Afzal but declined to stay his conviction.
As a result, though Afzal was released from jail, his membership of Parliament was not restored.
