Bombay High Court upholds acquittal of all 22 accused in Sohrabuddin fake encounter case

Bombay High Court upholds acquittal of all 22 accused in Sohrabuddin fake encounter case The Bombay High Court today dismissed the appeals challenging the acquittal of all 22 accused, including 21 police personnel, in the fake encounter killings of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his wife Kauser Bi and associate Tulsiram Prajapati. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad upheld the acquittal and dismissed the appeals filed by Shaikh's brothers Rubabuddin and Nayabuddin. The appeals filed by Shaikh’s brothers sought quashing of the trial court's judgment or, in the alternative, prayed for directions for a re-trial under Section 386(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The appeals had been pending before the Court since 2019 and was reserved for orders in 2025. The brothers filed the appeals in the capacity of 'victims who suffered the loss of family members'. They argued that the trial was fundamentally flawed and conducted in a manner that defeated the ends of justice. They submitted that the special judge based his decision on unwarranted assumptions and manifestly erroneous appreciation of evidence. A primary grievance in the appeal was the prosecution's failure to summon magistrates before whom key hostile witnesses had previously recorded their statements.
