Verdict in the 2008 Batla House encounter case would be pronounced at 2 p.m. on Monday by a Delhi court.

Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, the encounter specialist and who spearheaded the police action was also killed during the operation.
Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Yadav will pass the judgment in the case of Ariz Khan, who was arrested in February 2018, a decade after allegedly being on the run.
Ariz is allegedly associated with the terror outfit Indian Mujahideen. Police claimed that he was present at Batla House, along with four others, and managed to give police a slip during the encounter.
On the last date of hearing, the judge had issued a production warrant against Ariz Khan alias Junaid for his presence during the pronouncement of judgment.
Additional Public Prosecutor (APP) AT Ansari represented the Delhi Police, while advocate MS Khan represented Ariz Khan during trial proceedings in the matter.
Of the five men residing in the apartment in Batla House, Mohammed Sajid and Atif Amin were killed during the encounter, Junaid and Shahzad Ahmad fled and were caught years later, while Mohammad Saif surrendered to the police.
A trial court had, in July 2013, sentenced Indian Mujahideen terrorist Shahzad Ahmed to life imprisonment in connection with the case.
