The court indicated that it would not grant any adjournments whatsoever to either of the parties in the day-to-day hearing of the confirmation of the death sentence and cross-appeals challenging convictions in the case.

After an over eight-year trial, a special court under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act (MCOCA) in October 2015 awarded death penalty to five of the convicts and life terms to seven others.
