SC seeks govt reply on bail plea of ex-cop in 2006 fake encounter case

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Monday gave relief to former Mumbai Police cop Pradeep Sharma from surrendering in a 2006 case where he was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Bombay high court which reversed his acquittal last month and directed surrender within three weeks. Issuing notice to the Maharashtra government and the complainant Ramprasad Vishwanth Gupta, the bench said, “As the high court has stipulated three weeks for surrender, until the next date, petitioner may not surrender.” The matter has been kept after four weeks. Sharma filed his appeal in the top court under the Supreme Court Jurisdiction Act, 1970 which provides for an appeal against any judgment of the high court which has on appeal, “reversed an order of acquittal” and sentenced the accused to imprisonment for life or to imprisonment for a period of not less than ten years. This shows how powerful he is.” The court told Chaudhary, “Since it is a case of reversal of acquittal by the high court, it is a statutory appeal which we have to admit.” The HC order running into 867 pages discussed the entire case in great detail to conclude that Gupta was killed by “trigger happy cops”.
