casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Ravindra S Sawant v. State of Maharashtra Court Decision: The Supreme Court upheld Ravindra Sawant's conviction for attempting to murder gang leader Ashwin Naik and police officers at Mumbai's Sessions Court on April 18, 1994. Sawant fired at Naik in court premises, injuring Naik and three policemen. The Court rejected his claim of being hit by stray bullets, finding credible eyewitness testimony from injured police officers and establishing the weapon's connection via ballistic evidence. The conviction under TADA (anti-terrorism law) was upheld as the bold, public execution intended to terrorize citizens and undermine state authority.
