Manjunath murder case convict's petition dismissed
Lucknow, Mar 28 (UNI) Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court today dismissed the plea of Monu Mittal, who has been given capital punishment in the Manjunath murder case, to revoke National Security Act (NSA) on him.
A bench comprising Justices K S Rakhra and O N Khandelwal termed the plea as insignificant and dismissed the same.
The court observed that it had been an year since order invoking NSA on Mittal was passed, and since the sessions court has convicted him in the murder case and awarded death sentence, the petition has lost its significance.
The plea had challenged the NSA invoked on him by Lakhimpur Kheri's district magistrate.
