A bench of justices Hrishikesh Roy and Prashant Kumar Mishra issued notice to the Delhi government seeking its response on the plea filed by Chandrakant Jha, who is serving life term after being convicted in 3 murder cases in which headless torsos were found outside Tihar jail in 2006 & 2007.
In his plea filed through advocate Rishi Malhotra, Jha stated that he has been convicted for the offences under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) of the IPC.
