EVERY ACCUSED MUST NOT BE PRESENT AT THE SPOT; CAN STILL BE TRIED AS PART OF THE CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES: BOMBAY HIGH COURT The case presented before the court was central to the difference between normal criminal law and crimes under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act, 1999. The bench comprising Justices Prasanna B. Varale & amp; S.M. Modak stated, “It is not always necessary that every accused must be present on the spot. There are various circumstances in the chain of circumstances. In that chain, it may happen that set of accused persons may be present at the spot, some of the accused have played a role prior to the commission of the offense and some of them have participated post-commission of offense.” Then bench concluded that it is not compulsory that an offense will have the same group of criminals every time. The only fact that is to be considered is that they all belong to the same web of organized crime crew.
