The Bombay High Court dismissed a criminal case against Raj Thackeray related to a 2008 stone-pelting incident on a State transport bus. The court found no evidence to prove Thackeray incited violence, ruling that he was not present during the attack, and concluded that the case lacked substantial evidence for trial.
The Delhi High Court quashed a case against a 61-year-old man accused of outraging a woman’s modesty, after an amicable settlement. The judge, Justice Mendiratta, emphasized that continuing the case would be an abuse of the court process. Instead of monetary costs, the accused was directed to plant 30 trees, emphasizing the importance of the settlement.
