INDIA: BOMBAY HC COMMUTES DEATH PENALTY OF TWO YOUNG MEN IN BHANDARA ROBBERY AND MURDER CASE

November 11, 2019:

The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court on 5 November 2019 commuted death penalty awarded to two young men convicted for robbery and murder of a woman and for injuring her minor son. The sentence in the case was commuted to life imprisonment due to lack of evidence and in view of their socio economic status.
A Division Bench of Justices P N Deshmukh and Pushpa Ganediwala refused to confirm death sentence as pleaded by the State and partly allowed the appeal made by 22-year-old convicts Amir Ajaj Shaikh and Sachin Kundlik Raut from Bhandara district. The appellants were working as Air-Conditioner mechanics in Bhandara town.
It was a case of the prosecution that on 30 July 2015, both the appellants committed house trespass and robbed the house of a local businessman Dayaji Bariya. In doing so, they murdered his wife with and attempted to kill their 8-year-old son Bhavya, claimed the Bhandara Police. The convicts were accused of having used the hammer to hit the head of Bariya's wife, leading to her death.
