Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench sentenced 43 police officers to life imprisonment in a three-decade-old fake encounter case. The division bench of Justices Saroj Yadav and Ramesh Sinha enunciated judgment on the 1991 July 12 Pilibhit encounter case, when police officers shot and killed Sikh pilgrims over the suspicion of them being part of the Khalistan Liberation Front.
