The state government has filed an appeal in the Allahabad High Court regarding the seven-year sentence of former SP MLA Irfan Solanki. The appeal also contests Solanki’s acquittal in a conspiracy case. The High Court will hear all related appeals on September 24.
Irfan Solanki and his brother, Rizwan Solanki, filed a criminal appeal against the sentence handed down by the MP MLA Special Court. They are seeking to overturn the decision related to their involvement in the burning of a woman’s house. The double bench of Justices Rajiv Gupta and Surendra Singh will review all three appeals together.
The Special MP MLA Court in Kanpur sentenced both brothers for their roles in the incident involving the burning of Nazir Fatima’s house. Following their conviction, Irfan Solanki lost his position as an MLA. He currently remains incarcerated in Maharajganj jail.
In their appeal, the Solanki brothers seek bail and a stay on their sentence until the final decision. The state government, in its counter-affidavit, argues for the dismissal of Solanki’s appeal. The government also demands an increase in Solanki’s sentence and challenges his acquittal in the conspiracy charge. Senior advocates have presented arguments for both sides, setting the stage for the upcoming hearing.
