AAMIR vs SHAKEEB — Crl.A. No. 2822/2026

Summary of Crl.A. No. 002822/2026 (Aamir v. Shakeeb) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed all three criminal appeals filed by de-facto complainant Aamir, setting aside the High Court's orders that had granted bail to the three convicted murderers (Shakib, Shariq, and Kasif). The Court held that the High Court erred in suspending life sentences pending appeal without strong grounds for acquittal. Case Details: The appellants were convicted of the July 2017 double murder of Arif (a local councilor) and Shadab in Meerut. Evidence showed Shakib and Kasif, then imprisoned for the Saloni Kinner Murder Case, had conspired while in jail to eliminate these prosecution witnesses. The trial court convicted all three with life imprisonment; the High Court wrongly granted bail, citing discrepancies in injury patterns. Next Steps: The three accused must surrender before the Trial Court within one week. The Court advised them to request priority hearing of their pending High Court appeals, noting they have already served over eight years imprisonment.
