Case Note & Summary
The appeal arose from the conviction of six accused/appellants by the Additional Sessions Judge, Pune in Sessions Case No. 277 of 2012 for offences under Sections 302 and 324 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The trial court sentenced them to life imprisonment for murder and one-year rigorous imprisonment for voluntarily causing hurt with a weapon, with the sentences to run concurrently. During the pendency of the appeal, appellant No. 2 expired, and his appeal abated. The case stemmed from an incident on 16 November 2011 when accused Nos. 2, 3 and 7 arrived at the cattle shed of Anna Thakar, honked aggressively, and caused a verbal altercation after which Anna slapped accused No. 3. Threats were exchanged. On 17 November 2011, at about 8 p.m., at Aglambe Phata, accused Nos. 1 to 4, 6 and 7 allegedly formed an unlawful assembly and assaulted Datta, Anna's son, with iron rods and sticks. At around 10 p.m. that same night, in front of the house of accused No. 8, all eight accused allegedly formed an unlawful assembly and assaulted Bharat (another son of Anna) and his friend Mauli (PW13) with sickles, axes, sticks and iron rods. Bharat succumbed to his injuries, while Mauli sustained simple injuries. The prosecution examined sixteen witnesses, including the informant Ramesh Thakar (PW1), other eyewitnesses, and the investigating officer. The accused denied the charges and contended that the informant's side was the aggressor, having earlier assaulted accused No. 8 and filed a cross-FIR. They claimed that the incident occurred in darkness, the eyewitnesses could not have seen the assault from a distant temple, and that there were material discrepancies and no independent witnesses. Recovery of weapons and CA reports were also questioned. The appeal was heard on 12 February 2024 before a division bench of the Bombay High Court comprising Justices A. S. Gadkari and Shyam C. Chandak. The text of the judgment provided only covers the prosecution story, the trial court proceedings, and the submissions of the appellants. The court's analysis, findings, and final decision are not included in the excerpt, and therefore the outcome of the appeal and the ratio decidendi remain unknown.
