New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Friday overturned the acquittal of 20 people in the 2010 Mirchpur Dalit killing case while observing that instances of atrocities against Scheduled Castes had not abated even after 71 years of Independence.

The court upheld the conviction of 13 people by a trial court and enhanced the punishment of some of the convicts.

A 60-year-old Dalit and his physically challenged daughter were burnt alive by members of the Jat community at Mirchpur village in Haryana's Hisar district in April 2010.

With Friday's verdict, 12 of the 33 convicts have been sentenced to life imprisonment for offences including murder under the Indian Penal Code, and causing mischief by fire or explosive substance by a member of a community other than SC/ST and intending to cause damage to property of a member of the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe community under the SC/ST (Prevention Of Atrocities) Act.
