HC Reserves Verdict On Death Sentence For Triple

Times of India · india

The Uttarakhand High Court has reserved its verdict on the death sentence awarded to a man from Tehri Garhwal for the 2014 murders of his mother, elder brother, and pregnant sister-in-law. His defense argued he was mentally ill at the time and the trial court failed to adequately assess his condition. Medical reports indicate his mental state has improved significantly since the incident. The court heard arguments from the appellant's counsel and the amicus curiae appointed to represent him before reserving judgment.
