| SC stays Sidhu's sentence in road rage death case | | |
New Delhi, Jan 23
The Supreme Court today stayed the conviction
of cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu in a road rage
case, paving the way for his entry into the election fray for the
by-election to the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat.
A Bench comprising Justice G P Mathur and Justice R V Raveendran
directed that the order of conviction passed by the Punjab and
Haryana High Court would not be operative till the final disposal of
Sidhu's appeal against the sentence of three-year imprisonment and a
fine of Rs one lakh for the offence of culpable homicide not
amounting to murder.
The court said the application filed by Sidhu for the
suspension and stay of his conviction and sentence deserved to be
allowed. |
