New Delhi: A Delhi court is likely to hand out sentences in the nine-year-old BMW hit and run case on Friday.
The Patiala House Court held Sanjeev Nanda, grandson of an ex-Navy chief SM Nanda, guilty in the case, earlier this week.
Nanda had mowed down six people, including three policemen, while drunk and driving his BMW car.
He was held guilty under section 304 (2) (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), for which the maximum punishment is 10 years.
The other accused in the case, businessman Rajiv Gupta - whose son Siddharth was also in the car but was acquitted in August 1999 - and his two domestic helps Bhola Nath and Sham Singh were held guilty of destroying evidence.
Public prosecutor Rajeev Mohan has sought the maximum punishment of 10 years for Nanda. But Nanda's counsel has sought his release on probation.
Earlier on Wednesday, a Delhi court deferred by two days the sentencing of Sanjeev Nanda.
