Amit Jogi

The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the Chhattisgarh High Court’s order convicting Amit Jogi to life imprisonment in the 2003 murder of Ram Avtar Jaggi, a political rival of his father Ajit Jogi. Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice on Jogi’s appeal and suspended the high court’s April 2, 2026, judgment. The bench ordered that the conviction under IPC Sections 302 and 120B and the life sentence remain stayed pending hearing.
