This matter was pending in the judicial process for about 18 years, on which now the final decision has come. Raj Thackeray himself was present in the court at the time of the verdict.
Court said – lack of evidence, allegations could not be proved
Thane Sessions Court said in its decision that the government side failed to prove that Raj Thackeray had a direct role in this movement or that he had given any kind of instigation. The court also said that the evidence presented was not sufficient to strengthen the charges. On this basis, the court acquitted Raj Thackeray of all charges and closed the case.

At that time the political atmosphere in the state had become quite tense regarding the movement. In this case, Raj Thackeray was accused of playing a role in instigating the movement, although the court did not consider these allegations proven.
After the court’s decision, Raj Thackeray came out of the court premises and accepted the greetings of his supporters. After the decision, an atmosphere of enthusiasm was seen among his supporters. This decision is being considered as an important legal relief for him after his acquittal in this case which was pending for many years.
