Supreme Court to hear pleas against Surendra Koli's acquittal in Nithari serial killings case on March 25.
The Supreme Court on Monday (January 6, 2025) said it would on March 25 hear a batch of pleas against the acquittal of Surendra Koli in the 2006 Nithari serial killings case.
A bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and Augustine George Masih was informed by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta that the case was over the "very serious and gruesome" killings in Nithari, Uttar Pradesh (U.P.).
Koli's counsel said the evidence against his client was a confessional statement, recorded several days after his police custody in the case.
The bench directed its registry to summon the trial court records in other connected matters expeditiously and supply its copies to the lawyers appearing in the matter.
The hearing was posted on March 25.
In 2024, the apex court agreed to examine separate pleas filed by the CBI and the U.P. government challenging the Allahabad High Court's decision acquitting Koli on October 16, 2023.
The bench had sought a response from Koli on the petitions and tagged it with similar pending pleas.
