July 09, 2012 17:33
The Bombay High Court acquits five accused in the 2002 Best Bakery case; upholds life sentence for four.
A division bench of Justices VM Kanade and PD Kode passed the order in response to an appeal filed by the nine accused, who have earlier challenged the life sentence awarded to them by the lower court.
The bench had in March commenced day-to-day hearing in the appeals filed by the nine convicted, challenging the lower court's order sentencing them to life imprisonment six years back. The bench had earlier reserved its judgement in the case after hearing both the defence and prosecution.
