Hearing a referred trial, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday ordered notice to four persons awarded death sentence by the Special Court for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act Cases in Tirunelveli for the murder of three Scheduled Caste men.
A Division Bench of Justices C.V. Karthikeyan and R. Poornima ordered notice to Ponnumani, Gurusamy, Muthukrishnan and Kaliraj who were awarded death sentence by the trial court and sought to ascertain whether appeals had been preferred against the trial court verdict.
The matter was posted for hearing to November 11.
The special court awarded death sentence to the four persons and life imprisonment to seven others for murdering three Scheduled Caste men at Udaippankulam in June 2014.
