A Division Bench, comprising Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Suvra Ghosh, declared the three not guilty of sedition and other charges. Sushil Roy, Patitpaban Haldar and Santosh Debnath were arrested from Jhargram in the then Maoist-affected Jangalmahal area of West Bengal in 2005 on the charge that they were inciting people to hold armed struggle to overthrow the elected government in the State, their lawyer Amartya Ghosh said. Ghosh submitted before the Division Bench that they were falsely implicated on sedition charges and the Arms Act by the police who claimed to have seized gelatin sticks and ammunition for .303 rifles from a rented apartment in the Hooghly District of West Bengal. The sessions court in Jhargram found them guilty of sedition charges and under Arms Act and sentenced them to life imprisonment in 2005. The three persons filed an appeal before the High Court in 2006. Sushil Roy died during pendency of the appeal in 2014, Ghosh said.
