New Delhi : The Delhi High Court today issued a notice to the city police on a petition filed by Sanjeev Nanda challenging a lower court’s decision to sentence him to five years’ imprisonment in the BMW hit-and-run case.
Justice Kailash Gambhir sought a response from the police after briefly hearing the contentions of Nanda.
Sanjeev Nanda, grandson of ex-naval chief S M Nanda, approached the High Court against his conviction and quantum of sentence awarded to him by the lower court.
Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Nanda, contended that no incriminating circumstance appeared against him and the trial court had wrongly convicted him due to publicity in the media.
Seeking bail from the court, Nanda contended that the trial court has accepted the testimony of controversial prosecution eye-witness Sunil Kulkarni which is not reliable as he was in Mumbai and not in Delhi at the time of accident.
