Khan had been convicted in the sensational case, in which decorated Delhi Police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma lost his life.
The order was pronounced by a bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Amit Sharma.
In August, the bench postponed its decision on the matter, following the completion of arguments by the lawyers representing the convict and the State.
On September 19, 2008, an encounter between the police and terrorists in Jamia Nagar, South Delhi, resulted in the unfortunate demise of Sharma, a member of the Delhi Police’s Special Cell.
The encounter, which occurred shortly after five coordinated bomb explosions shook the national capital, claiming the lives of 39 individuals and injuring 159, also resulted in the deaths of two terrorists.
Sharma conducted the raid while searching for the individuals responsible for the bomb blasts.
On March 8, 2021, the trial court found Khan guilty, stating that it had been conclusively demonstrated that he and his associates had committed the murder of the police official and had discharged gunshots at him.
On March 15, 2021, Khan was sentenced to the death penalty, and a fine of Rs 11 lakh was imposed on him, with the stipulation that Rs 10 lakh should be promptly disbursed to the family members of Sharma.
Following that, the high court received a request for the confirmation of Khan’s death sentence.
Khan had fled the scene of the crime and was subsequently declared a proclaimed offender. He was apprehended on February 14, 2018.
