A court in Moradabad India just said no to an appeal from Azam Khan a leader in the Samajwadi Party. The appeal was about a case from way back in 2008. It involves something about a blockade that supposedly happened then. Basically he was trying to get a previous ruling against him overturned but it didn’t work.
We don’t know all the details of what the 2008 blockade was exactly. All we know is that Azam Khan was accused of being involved in it. The appeal was his last shot to change the court’s mind about the case. Now that it was rejected the initial ruling against him is still going to stand.
This whole case shows how politicians in India can face legal problems and have to answer for their actions no matter how long ago they were. The court’s decision here is a big deal in this legal situation even though we don’t know the full story behind the blockade.
