High Court admits ACP Rathi’s appeal

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday admitted an appeal by dismissed Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) S.S. Rathi challenging the trial court judgment sentencing him to life imprisonment in the Connaught Place shooting case.

Admitting the appeal, a Division Bench of the Court comprising Justices R.S. Sodhi and B.N. Chaturvedi also issued a notice, returnable on November 13, to the Central Bureau of Investigation on a plea by Rathi to suspend the life sentence awarded to him by the trial court on October 24 and grant bail. Rathi’s counsel wanted an early date for hearing of the plea for bail, but the Court expressed its inability to meet his request.

Rathi in his appeal submitted that he had not fired at the vehicle in which businessman Pradeep Goel and his associate Jagjit Singh were travelling near Statesman House in Connaught Place on March 31, 1997.
