Nitish Katara murder case: SC to hear Vikas Yadav’s plea on remission

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear in August a petition of Vikas Yadav, former Member of Parliament DP Yadav’s son, challenging the bar on the consideration of his remission until he completes 25 years in jail for murdering Delhi business executive Nitish Katara in 2002. In his plea, Vikas Yadav said that he has completed 21 years of his sentence and that the denial of remission affected his fundamental right to life and liberty. Senior advocate Aparajita Singh, who appeared for Neelam Katara, pointed out Vikas Yadav’s petition was not maintainable as it essentially sought recall of a Supreme Court judgment. Senior advocate Siddharth Dave, who appeared for Vikas Yadav, said his client has approached the court to secure his as well as thousands of other similar convicts’ indispensable fundamental right.
