Pandya Murder Case

The Supreme Court has dismissed the pleas filed by nine convicts, who were awarded life term for murdering former Gujarat home minister Haren Pandya in 2003, seeking review of its verdict holding them guilty.

The Supreme Court convicted 12 persons on Friday for killing former Gujarat home minister Haren Pandya in 2003.

The Supreme Court is scheduled Friday to pronounce verdict on the appeals filed by CBI and the Gujarat government challenging the acquittal of 12 persons facing charges of murdering former state Home Minister Haren Pandya in 2003.

A key witness in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh case has claimed in a Mumbai court that ex-police officer of Gujarat, DG Vanzara, had given out a contract to kill Haren Pandya -- former home minister of the state. Sohrabuddin, the witness said, claimed he got the contract, and his aide Tulsiram Prajapati claimed he had carried out the murder.

The Supreme Court today admitted appeals by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Gujarat government against the Gujarat High Court order acquitting 12 persons in the Haren Pandya murder case.
