A Delhi court today deferred to April 17 the pronouncement of sentence against six militants of Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front in the 1996 Lajpat Nagar blast case. The prosecution has sought death penalty for four of the convicts. District and Sessions Judge S P Garg, after hearing arguments on the quantum of sentence, said that he would pronounce the order on April 17 after perusing the various case laws filed by the prosecutor and the defence counsel. The court had on April eight convicted six out of ten suspected militants and rapped the police for highly defective probe and callous attitude.
