The Gujarat High Court on May 6 allowed the appeals of former BJP MP Dinu Solanki and six others against their conviction by a CBI court in the case of RTI activist Amit Jethwa's murder in 2010.
Observing that the trial court conducted proceedings with a "predetermined notion of conviction," a division bench of Justices AS Supehia and Vimal K Vyas quashed the CBI Court's order sentencing Solanki and the six others to life imprisonment.
Jethwa was shot dead outside the High Court premises here on July 20, 2010.
