CHANDIGARH - The Punjab and Haryana High Court Wednesday dismissed an appeal of disgraced former Haryana police chief S.P.S. Rathore against his conviction and sentence of 18 months’ jail by a court here in the 1990 Ruchika Girhotra molestation case.
The high court, in a stinging remark, said that Rathore’s conduct was “shameful” and he did not deserve any leniency.
Rathore has been in Chandigarh’s high-security Burail jail for the last 100 days.
Rathore, 68, was sentenced to 18 months’ rigorous imprisonment by the district and sessions court of Chandigarh May 25 and he had filed a revision petition challenging the sentence.
