Santosh Mane,the state transport bus driver who was awarded death penalty in a road rage case,has moved the Bombay High Court challenging the sessions court verdict. A plea filed by lawyer Jaideep Mane on the convicts behalf was admitted by the high court on May 9.
A bench of Justice V K Tahilramani and Justice P D Kode will hear the case.
The hearings in the high court will start in July. We were not happy with the outcome of the trial in the sessions court. The accused was not even given an opportunity to present his side as per the provision before he was awarded the death penalty. We are hoping that the high court will take a lenient view on account of the mental unsoundness of the accused, said advocate Jaideep Mane.
