The Allahabad High Court has once again refused to get relief from the Karwariya brothers in the nearly three-decade-old Jawahar Pandit murder case in Prayagraj. The court rejected the second bail applications of former MP Kapil Muni Karwaria, former MLC Suryabhan Karwaria and Ramchandra Tripathi alias Kallu, who are serving life imprisonment in the case. After this decision of the High Court, the hopes of the three accused to come out of jail have once again been shocked.
This case is one of the most famous murders in the political history of Prayagraj. On August 13, 1996, the then SP MLA Jawahar Yadav alias Jawahar Pandit was shot dead in broad daylight in Allahabad’s Civil Lines area. The attackers fired an AK-47 at the MLA. This sensational incident shook the politics of the entire state at that time. In 2005, BSP MLA Raju Pal was murdered in Prayagraj. Raju Pal was shot dead in broad daylight in a filmy style.
The hearing has been going on for a long time.
The hearing of this case went on for a long time. In 2019, the trial court had convicted the Karwariya brothers and other accused in the Jawahar Pandit murder case. The court had sentenced all of them to life imprisonment. Challenging this decision, a criminal appeal was filed in the Allahabad High Court on behalf of the accused.
The Karwariya brothers are serving life sentences.
Ramchandra Tripathi alias Kallu, who is serving life imprisonment in the same criminal appeal, former MP Kapil Muni Karwaria and former MLC Suryabhan Karwaria had approached the court for bail for the second time. However, the division bench of the High Court refused to grant bail after considering their arguments. A division bench of Justices Salil Kumar Rai and Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal ordered the rejection of the second bail applications of the three accused. The Jawahar Pandit murder case is considered to be a very important case related to the politics of Prayagraj.
