SC gives 67-year-old an option between life term & 7-yr term
In a decades-old case, the SC is deliberating the fate of a 67-year-old man convicted of a 1979 murder. Hari Shankar Rai, involved in a college union fight, fatally stabbed a fellow student. The Allahabad High Court overturned a prior conviction, sentencing Rai to life imprisonment, a decision now under review by the SC, which is considering a reduced sentence of seven years.
