Dasna Jail, Ghaziabad. He was to be hanged on 12 September 2014. The Supreme Court of India stayed the death sentence for one week after a petition was filed for same. On 29 October 2014, the Supreme Court bench headed by the Chief Justice of India H. L. Dattu rejected the death sentence review petition stating that the court had not committed any error in judgement. On 28 January 2015, the High Court bench headed by Chief Justice D. Y. Chandrachud and Justice P. K. S. Baghel commuted the death sentence of Surinder Koli to life imprisonment on the ground of "inordinate delay" in deciding his mercy petition. The Allahabad HC will hear a petition by Surinder Koli, seeking commutation of death sentence. In one of the first six cases, the HC had reduced his punishment to life. In 2014, the SC had stopped his hanging at a midnight hearing, saying inordinate delay in execution was valid grounds for commutation. In 2019, he was given a death sentence in 10th conviction. Acquittal On 10 September 2009, the Allahabad high court acquitted Moninder Singh Pandher and overturned his death sentence. He was not named a main suspect by investigators initially, but was summoned as co-accused during the trial. Pandher faces trial in five cases out of the remaining 12, and could be re-sentenced to death if found guilty in any of those killings. The same day Pandher was acquitted, the Allahabad high court upheld the death sentence for Surinder Koli, the former domestic servant of Pandher. On 24 July 2017, both Koli and Pandher have been given the death sentence (case #8 out of 16) in the latest hearing by the CBI Court at Ghaziabad.
