Summary: Zakir Ansari's criminal appeal challenging his life imprisonment conviction for murder under IPC Section 302/34 was dismissed by the Supreme Court on October 10, 2018. The Court upheld the trial court and High Court's conviction, finding the eyewitness testimony of the victim's wife (PW-5) credible and unshaken regarding Ansari's involvement in the knife-inflicted killing of Farid Ansari on June 18, 1998. The Court directed that since Ansari had already served over 18 years in prison, he may petition the competent authority for sentence remission, to be decided within three months.
