casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Amit @ Ammu v. State of Maharashtra (Crl.A. No. 376/2003) The Supreme Court on 6 August 2003 partially allowed appellant Amit's appeal against his conviction for murdering and raping an 11-12-year-old schoolgirl on 28 March 2001. While upholding convictions under IPC Sections 302 (murder) and 376 (rape), the Court commuted his death sentence to life imprisonment, finding the case did not fall within the "rarest of rare" category. The Court maintained all other sentences and compensation of Rs. 25,000 to the victim's parents, relying on eyewitness evidence establishing the appellant was last seen with the deceased before her death by strangulation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
