HC allows appeal of accused in sensational Mohd. Irshad murder case

By


The Division Bench of the Bombay High Court-Nagpur on Friday pronounced the Judgment in the sensational murder case of Mohd. Irshad and allows appeal of accused in the case. 

Mohd. Irshad and Mohd. Ejaz were attacked in Akola town in July 2012. Mohd. Irshad was succumbed to the injuries as he was inflicted with 43 lethal injuries.  On the basis of complaint lodged by the Mohd. Ejaz, Mohd. Munaf, his real brother and cousins were arrayed as accused. 
The four arrested accused were put to trail and two more accused also surrendered after some time and they were also tried in the same trial.  The complainant side was represented by the battery of lawyers from Akola including Adv. Navrangabadi, besides the public prosecutor Vinod Fate. The prosecution examined several witnesses including four alleged eye-witnesses who all supported the prosecution and named all the accused and identified the accused before the Court.
The then Additional District & Sessions Judge Akola, V N Tambi held them guilty for murder and had convicted the accused and sentenced them to suffer Life Imprisonment on March 30, 2016.
The accused ultimately moved the High Court in an appeal after their final conviction and the accused contended that the versions of the alleged eye witnesses could not be relied upon and even the presence of the said witnesses on the spot was suspect. The Division Bench consisting of Justice B.R. Gavai & Justice Kum. I. K Jain held the accused to be not guilty of the offences and thus set aside the Lifer imposed upon them at Trial while allowing the appeals.
Adv. Avinash Gupta assisted by Adv. R.K Tiwari, Aakash Gupta represented the accused at the Trial as well as in the high court. Adv. M.J. Khan APP represented the State. The complainant was represented by Adv. R.J. Mirza.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
