Orders
Summary The Supreme Court dismissed Raju Ambadas Gangekar's appeal, upholding the Bombay High Court's reversal of his acquittal in a 1988 fatal assault case. The High Court had convicted him under Section 304 Part II IPC (causing death by act endangering life) with 5-year imprisonment, finding sufficient eyewitness testimony (beat constable PW-13), a credible dying declaration describing the assailant's clothing, and matching blood evidence on clothes recovered from the appellant to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt, despite some witness hostility. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
