State of Maharashtra vs Pandit Kundlik Pawar UTP Advocate - LADC Tiwari Ameet Jagdish — 26/2025

Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Pandit Kundlik Pawar (S.C. No. 26/2025) Bail application of Pandit Kundlik Pawar, accused of murder under Sections 103 and 238 of BNS 2023, was rejected. The court found prima facie evidence against the accused in the form of CCTV footage placing him at the crime scene (Hotel Yashraj Idli Center on 27.10.2024 at 3:25-3:34 hours) and recovery of the deceased's mobile phone per his disclosure statement. Given the serious nature of the offense—brutal murder by stone attack and subsequent burning of the body to destroy evidence—the court determined that granting bail posed risks of abscondence, witness tampering, and further offenses.
