NEW DELHI: A Delhi court today awarded life sentence to three persons
for their role in the April 2010 killings of a 70-year-old Dalit and
his physically-challenged daughter at Haryana's Mirchpur village.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Kamini Lau sentenced Kulwinder,
Ramphal and Rajender to life imprisonment after holding them guilty
under the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities)
Act.
"For the offence under provisions of SC/ST (POA) Act, they (Kulwinder,
Ramphal and Rajender) are sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for life
and fine to the tune of Rs 20,000 each," the court said.
Besides them, the court sentenced five others -- Baljeet, Karambir,
Karampal, Dharambir and Bobal, convicted for rioting, voluntarily
causing hurt, mischief and putting ablaze victims' houses and
provisions of SC/ST (POA) Act, to five years jail along with a fine of
Rs 20,000 each.
The court said the fine recovered from the convicts would be given to
the victims as compensation.
The court, however, released seven convicts on probation of good
conduct for a period of one year with supervision after furnishing of
personal bond of Rs 10,000 each.
ASJ Lau freed Sumit, Pradeep, Rajpal, Sunil, Rishi, Monu and Pradeep
on probation of good conduct under the provision of Probation of
Offenders Act taking into account that most of them were first time
offenders and were young.
The court observed that these seven convicts were not held guilty for
the offences under the SC/ST (POA) Act.
