The Bombay High Court has scheduled for December 5 the final hearing of appeals challenging the acquittal of all 22 accused in the alleged fake encounter killings of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, his wife Kauser Bi, and associate Tulsiram Prajapati.

The appeals filed by Sohrabuddin Sheikh’s brothers Rubabuddin and Nayabuddin Sheikh in 2019 against the acquittal of the accused have been pending for over six years.
