A special court in Jharkhand's Dhanbad on Saturday awarded life imprisonment to both the convicts in the murder of Dhanbad Additional District and Sessions Judge Uttam Anand.
Last week, a district and additional sessions judge convicted Lakhan Kumar Verma and Rahul Kumar Verma of offenses under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (missing evidence) of the Indian Penal Code as well as sections 34 (common intention).
On Saturday, the court heard the arguments for the sentencing before the sentencing.
On July 28 last year, Judge Uttam Anand was out for a morning walk when an auto rickshaw hit him.
He was seriously injured and died as a result of his injuries.
Although it was initially thought to be an accident, CCTV footage of the incident showed that the vehicle was deliberately rammed into the judge as he was driving on the side of the road.
