casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Arun Gulab Gawli v. State of Maharashtra (Crl.A. No. 1073/2000) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside Gawli's conviction and sentence for illegal possession of a stengun under TADA (Prevention) Act, 1987. The Court found critical discrepancies in prosecution evidence—including conflicting witness testimonies, missing recovery memo signatures, non-production of the lockup register, and varying accounts of the discovery location and items recovered—which created reasonable doubt about the charge. Next Steps: Gawli was ordered released from custody forthwith, unless required in another case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
