💨 Abstract

On May 13, a Thane court acquitted Shobhan alias Gando Himla Machar of charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and the Indian Penal Code in a 2007 highway robbery case, citing insufficient evidence. The judge noted that witnesses could not identify the accused and questioned the admissibility of a confessional statement due to procedural violations.
