Case Note & Summary
This matter pertains to a criminal appeal before the High Court of Judicature at Bombay, instituted by the appellant, Eknath Krishna Kadam, challenging his conviction recorded by the Ad-hoc Additional Sessions Judge, Sewree, Mumbai. The appellant was the original accused in Sessions Case No. 778 of 2008 arising out of C.R. No. 221/2008 registered with Versova Police Station, Mumbai. By judgment and order dated 10th December 2009, the Sessions Court convicted the appellant for an unspecified offence. Dissatisfied with this conviction, the appellant preferred Criminal Appeal No. 1007 of 2018 before the Bombay High Court. The appeal was heard by a Division Bench comprising Revati Mohite Dere and Dr. Neela Gokhale, JJ., with judgment reserved on 9th April 2025 and pronounced on 24th April 2025. The appellant was represented by Mr. Pawan Mali through legal aid services, while the State of Maharashtra was represented by Mr. K.V. Saste, Additional Public Prosecutor. The judgment text provided does not contain the final outcome, the substantive legal issues considered, or the reasoning of the court; it only notes the fact of the appeal against conviction. Consequently, the precise grounds of appeal, the applicable legal provisions, the arguments advanced by the parties, and the court's analysis and ultimate decision remain unavailable.
