In a landmark verdict that has sent ripples across Chhattisgarh’s political landscape, the High Court has sentenced former MLA Amit Jogi, son of the state’s first Chief Minister, late Ajit Jogi, to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹1,000 in the sensational 2003 murder case of senior NCP leader Ram Avatar Jaggi.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Arvind Kumar Verma pronounced the sentence after hearing the CBI’s appeal, a revision petition by the victim’s son Satish Jaggi, and a plea for enhancement of sentence.
The High Court overturned the trial court’s acquittal of Amit Jogi dated May 31, 2007, and held him guilty of criminal conspiracy to murder under Section 120-B of the IPC, along with Sections 302/34 (murder) and 427/34 (mischief) of the Indian Penal Code.
