Khairlanji killings: HC commutes death penalty of 6 to life: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday commuted the death sentence of six convicts in the infamous Khairlanji Dalit killings case ..... Read Full

New Delhi: CBI will soon approach the Supreme Court to appeal against the Bombay High Court's recent decision to commute the death sentence of six convicts in the 'Khairlanji' killings.

Official sources said the CBI will file a Special Leave Petition in the Apex court challenging the order of the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court, which on July 14 had commuted the death sentence of the six convicts to 25 years imprisonment.

They said the appeal will be filed after getting an approval from the central government.

Four members of the Dalit family -- Surekha Bhaiyalal Bhotmange, her daughter Priyanka, sons Sudhir and Roshan -- were brutally killed by a mob in Khairlanji village on September 29, 2006, over a land dispute with upper castes, provoking violent protests across the state.
