Nitish Katara Case: SC Upholds 25 Year Jail To Yadav Cousins

The Quint  

While upholding the 2014 Delhi High Court's sentence of 25 years imposed on Vikas Yadav and two others, the bench of Justice Dipak Misra and Justice C. Nagappan said, "We have powers to impose such special sentences". The Supreme Court in August 2015 upheld the Delhi High Court's conviction of Vikas Yadav, Vishal Yadav and Sukhdev Pahalwan, and said it would later examine the question of quantum of sentence. However, the Delhi High Court, while upholding the trial court conviction in April 2014, enhanced the sentence to 25 years with no remission. Vikas Yadav and two others had moved the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court ruling, their conviction and award of special sentence to them.
