Mumbai: Finding shaky evidence and unbelievable witnesses in the incident of the night Mob attack that occurred during the power outage, the Bombay High Court released five Parmandwadi residents in Parel, South Mumbai in a 24-year murder case.
In 1998, the court session punished and sentenced life imprisonment.
The court court conducted a “big mistake” as a judgment “full of fire and allegations” said HC Bences of Judge Sadhana Jadhav and Prithviraj Chauhan.
After the penalty, in 2006, with HC nodded, three defense witnesses were also examined, as in a separate trial, two co-co-absconed previously released.
Their evidence of this case is doubtless without anyone to identify attackers, HC finds more likely.
All were guaranteed during the appeal, one after spending 10 years in prison.
The case listed by the Marg RA Kidwai police station was that the defendant, a major promoter of the housing community, and his followers had as a fatal mass attacked by a helicopter, a man’s hockey and boxing stick, although there were no members, which were used to present meetings and opposed the proposal made by the office carrier.
There are 500 hutments and it is a slum rehabilitation authority scheme.
The MOB suspected of attacking the man around 9:30 a.m.
on July 14, 1997, without street lights and transported the victim on the road when he tried to escape to the house.
He left bleeding, and when taken to the KEM Hospital managed by Civic, was declared dead on arrival.
It was murder, HC said, quoting a doctor who carried out an autopsy.
There is a dispute between the main promoters and slum members about whether they will be allocated 180 square feet or 225 sq ft.
HC said, “It is difficult to digest how there can be a motive accused of attacking men accused of not members of the community.”
