SC breather for ex-cop in encounter case

Admitting his appeal against his conviction on Monday, the Supreme Court issued notice to the Government.

Sharma has challenged the verdict of the Bombay High Court convicting him and sentencing him to life imprisonment for his role in the said encounter case,  apex court said on Monday that he need not surrender until further hearing, which would be scheduled after four weeks.

On Monday, Sharma's lawyers senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi, Subhash Jadhav and Siddharth Luthra contended that the presence of the appellant at the place of occurrence was not attested to by any of the witnesses. But Sharma entered the picture since the empty shell and the bullet that killed the deceased, was attributed to his service revolver.
