AMRUTLAL SOMESHWAR JOSHI vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier judgment in Criminal Appeal No. 87 of 1994, where the appellant was convicted under Section 302 IPC for the brutal murder of three individuals, including a child, with the intent to commit robbery. The Court reaffirmed that the case fell within the 'rarest of rare' category, justifying the death penalty. The review petition, which argued for clemency based on the appellant's age at the time of the crime, was dismissed as the Court found no merit in the claims regarding evidence appreciation and maintained the death sentence.
