Amit Jogi Sentenced to Life for 2003 Jaggi Murder
Chhattisgarh High Court overturns Amit Jogi's acquittal, sentencing him to life for the 2003 murder of Ramavatar Jaggi; victim's family hails verdict as justice, Jogi to appeal.
In Raipur, the Chhattisgarh High Court on Wednesday convicted former MLA Amit Jogi and sentenced him to life imprisonment for his role in the 2003 murder of Ramavatar Jaggi, overturning his earlier acquittal. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Arvind Kumar Verma set aside the 2007 trial court verdict that had given Jogi the benefit of doubt, and directed him to surrender within three weeks. The court allowed the CBI's appeal, marking a significant turning point after a two-decade-long legal battle in a case that has kept political and legal circles watching closely.
