ALLAHABAD: The Allahabad High Court on Friday acquitted Noida businessman Moninder Singh Pandher for want of evidence in one of the sensational Nithari serial murders, but upheld the death sentence of his domestic help Surinder Koli.
The order by a division bench of Justice Imtiyaz Murtaza and Justice Kashi Nath Pandey came on an appeal filed by 52-year-old Pandher and 38-year-old Koli, challenging the death sentence awarded on February 13 by the Ghaziabad additional sessions judge for murder.
While allowing the appeal of Pandher and dismissing that of Koli, the bench made it clear that the
``findings recorded by them were confined to the murder of 14-year-old Rimpa Haldar''. They made it clear that the judgment will not affect decisions in other Nithari cases by the trial court.
``The depraved and brutish acts of Surinder calls for only one sentence and that is death sentence. We agree with the reasoning of the sessions judge,'' the bench said.
``The findings recorded are only confined to the murder of Rimpa Haldar and the lower court shall not import any observation/comments in the body of this judgment for being applied to the decision while hearing other cases relating to Nithari incident,'' the bench obse
