Case History
Summary of Crl.A. No. 395-396/2004 (Rahul @ Raosaheb v. State of Maharashtra) The Supreme Court confirmed Rahul's conviction on all counts (Sections 302, 363, 376(2)(f), 377, and 201 IPC) for the rape and murder of a 4-year-old girl in 1999. However, the Court commuted his death sentence to life imprisonment, considering his age (24 years at time of crime), absence of prior criminal record, and lack of evidence suggesting future dangerousness, despite acknowledging the heinous nature of the offense. The appeals were disposed of on August 17, 2004. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
