Faizal had been convicted by the additional sessions judge B S Bhadoria yesterday.
The court also awarded three years' imprisonment to co-accused Mahtab after finding him guilty under the Arms Act for supplying a weapon to Faizal which was used in the crime, said Special public prosecutor Naresh Gupta.
Faizal has been found guilty for the murder of constable Sitaram Yadav in Khandwa district in 2009.
Today also he attended the hearing through video conference.
Faizal and four others shot Yadav dead. Three of them are still absconding while one died, Gupta said. Indore police nabbed Faizal two years ago.
