A division bench will comprise of Justices A P Lavande and P B Vairale.

In September last year, the trial court at Bhandara awarded capital punishment to six convicts, while two were given life imprisonment for killing four members of Bhotmange family.

The convicts are: Sakru Binjawar, Shatrughan Dhande, Vishwanath Dhande, Ramu Dhande, Jagdish Mandlekar, Prabhakar Mandlekar, Gopal Binjawar and Shishupal Dhande.

The death sentence is yet to be confirmed by the High Court.

Three persons, Mahipal Dhande, Dharampal Dhande and Purushottam Titarmare, were acquitted for lack of evidence.

The CBI has also filed an appeal seeking death sentence for Binjawar and Dhande, and reversal of acquittal of the trio.

During the hearing on Thursday, the CBI said all the accused were convicted for same crime and hence deserve same punishment.
