 "summary": "The Court of Sessions Judge, Lucknow convicted a police constable on 17 September 2026 under Section 304 Part II IPC for the fatal shooting of a Lucknow man during a patrol stop in Gomti Nagar Vistar on the intervening night of 28-29 September 2018. The court found that firing the lethal shot exceeded lawful private defence and official authority; a second constable was acquitted. The separate order of 21 September imposed 10 years' rigorous imprisonment and a Rs 20,000 fine, with two months' further imprisonment in default, and set off detention already undergone. The conviction and sentence are now verified against the court's own documents; a later appeal outcome has not been verified.",
