Man gets life term for killing nephew over property dispute
Bijnor: A court in Bijnor on Tuesday sentenced a 55-year-old man to life imprisonment for killing his nephew during a property dispute. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 30,000 on the convict.
Bijnor SP Abhishek Jha said the case dates back to August 12, 2020, in the Muglushah locality under Najibabad police station limits. Iqbal Hussain had lodged an FIR against his brother, Jamshed Hussain alias Guddu, accusing him of murdering his 22-year-old son, Mohammad Almaas.
According to the complaint, Iqbal had executed a property deed in his own name for land that originally belonged to Jamshed. Although Iqbal claimed he had paid the full amount, Jamshed allegedly continued to demand more money, leading to ongoing tension between the brothers.
On the day of the incident, a heated argument broke out between them, which turned physical. When Mohammad Almaas tried to intervene to protect his father, Jamshed, in a fit of rage, stabbed him to death.
Jamshed was arrested soon after, and a chargesheet was filed in court.
"Based on the evidence, the court of additional district and sessions judge Prashant Mittal found Jamshed guilty under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 307 (attempt to murder)," SP Jha said.

UP Government Gives Rs 5 Lakh Aid To Accused Over Delay In Release From Jail
New Delhi: Following Supreme Court's reprimand, the UP government on Friday said a man, whose release from prison was delayed for about a month after getting bail, has been compensated with Rs 5 lakh. The man, booked under the provisions of the state's anti-conversion law, was granted bail by the top court on April 29 but released from Ghaziabad district jail only on June 24 -- indicating a delay of 28 days. On June 25, the top court while pulling up the state authorities over the delay, ordered a Rs 5 lakh compensation and asked UP government to report on compliance. On Friday, the state's counsel informed a bench of Justices K V Viswanathan and N Kotiswar Singh that the state had complied with the direction and paid the compensation. The man's counsel confirmed having received the amount. The top court granted bail to the accused on April 29 and subsequently on May 27, a trial court in Ghaziabad issued his release. On June 25, when the top court was informed about the man's release the previous day, it said liberty was a "very valuable and precious" right guaranteed under the Constitution. The man, the top court said, had lost his liberty for at least 28 days due to a "trivial non-issue". The bench also took strong exception over the delay on the ground that a sub-section of a provision of Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021 was not mentioned in the bail order. It had passed the order on a plea by the accused seeking a modification of the April 29 order to specifically include clause (1) of section 5 of the 2021 Act. The bench then ordered an enquiry into the matter by the principal district and sessions judge, Ghaziabad. The enquiry's focus was directed to be on the reason behind the delay. On June 25, the state's counsel said the trial court's May 27 order mentioned all details except Sub-Section (1) of Section 5 of the Act and, therefore, a plea for correction was filed by the jail authorities on May 28. Since the application was not disposed of earlier, she said, the petitioner was not released. The lawyer further informed the bench that the man was released post the order's correction. The man was booked under Section 366 (kidnapping, abducting or inducing woman to compel her marriage etc) of the erstwhile IPC and Sections 3 and 5 (Prohibition of conversion from one religion to another religion by misrepresentation, force, fraud, undue influence, coercion, allurement) of the 2021 Act. On Friday, the bench posted the examination of the inquiry report on August 25.

The matter had been settled amicably between parties, and the FIR was quashed by the court. This is not the first such incident in virtual courtrooms. In April, the Gujarat High Court imposed a Rs 50,000 fine on a litigant found smoking during a video conference. Similarly, in March, a Delhi court summoned a litigant who was also seen smoking while attending proceedings online. Courts across the country have repeatedly urged litigants and lawyers to maintain decorum during virtual hearings, treating them with the same seriousness as physical appearances.
