Pronouncing imprisonment till death to an autorickshaw driver and his accomplice in connection with the murder of a Dhanbad Court Judge last year, a special CBI Court in its order said "such culprit needs to be kept behind bars till the end of his life".
CBI court judge Rajni Kant Pathak on July 28 held autorickshaw driver Lakhan Verma and his associate Rahul Verma guilty of murdering 49-year-old additional sessions judge Uttam Anand.
Observing that "nobody can think that a judge of Jharkhand judiciary would be murdered in such a way. This incident shook not only the entire judicial fraternity of the country but on the citizen at mass level," the Speical CBI Court Judge Rajni Kant Pathak said a 'lenient view' in the case was ruled out.
