Life Sentences Handed to Murderers in Batamaloo Case, Judges Rule

In a landmark judgment, the Srinagar Additional Sessions Court delivered life imprisonment to three individuals convicted of a 2022 homicide in the Batamaloo jurisdiction. The accused—Muft Hafiza Begum, Parvez Ahmed Dar alias Bilal, and Shah Nawaz Ahmed Dar—were found guilty under sections 302 and 120‑B of the Indian Penal Code. The verdict follows a thorough police investigation that gathered forensic and testimonial evidence, which the court accepted before imposing the maximum custodial penalty.
