Overview
- The division bench, which ruled Thursday, found Amit Jogi guilty and gave him three weeks to surrender.
- The order overturned his 2007 acquittal after the High Court reopened the case last month on a CBI appeal, even as 28 others were convicted in 2007.
- The Supreme Court in November 2025 told the High Court to consider the CBI’s late appeal, noting the grave allegation of a conspiracy to murder a rival politician.
- Amit Jogi said the court allowed the appeal in about 40 minutes without hearing him and said he will seek relief from the Supreme Court.
- The case stems from the June 4, 2003 shooting of NCP leader Ramavatar Jaggi in Raipur, which the CBI probed and charged 31 people in, with two turning approvers.
