A youth stands acquitted after the Bombay High Court said there is No cogent Evidence to nail him. He was convicted and sentenced to Life Imprisonment in 1998 by a Trial Court in Alibaug in a Murder Case that is over three decades old.
In May 1990, a man celebrating a wedding in his family was jabbed to death with a spear.
The accused and his son were convicted while nine others were Acquitted by the Sessions Court.
The accused duo then moved the High Court but the father died in 2018, pending Appeal.
The High Court Bench of Justices Sadhana Jadhav and Milind Jadhav said the Medical Evidence attributed the Victim’s death to the spear attack by the father, and to confer common intention on the Accused son is highly erroneous.
