The Delhi High Court on October 13 commuted death sentence awarded to Ariz Khan, convicted in the 2008 Batla House encounter case in which Delhi Police Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma lost his life, to the life imprisonment. A bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Amit Sharma upheld the March 2021 judgment of the trial court convicting Khan of the police officer's killing, but declined to confirm the capital punishment, saying that there was "nothing on record to attribute the fatal shot responsible for the death of the Inspector to any particular accused". "In the present case, the shootout which took place at Batla House was neither pre-planned nor pre-mediated. It is the case of the prosecution itself that the raid was conducted for apprehending the suspect Atif Ameen @ Basir and in pursuance thereto, the police party reached the flat and was subsequently fired upon," the court noted. . .
