During the court proceedings, Jadhav was represented by Advocate Pushkar Durge who argued that Jadhav and his brother were national players in shooting and had knowledge regarding ballistic science. Durge further argued that nothing was found regarding firing and that the incident had occurred on December 6, 2022, while the house search panchanama was done after six to seven months.
In response to the threat allegations, the defence lawyer submitted Google Time Line for the date which prima facie showed that none of the accused was present at the Ghole Road house on the relevant day and relevant time where the incident took place. The Additional Sessions Judge V.A.Patravale granted bail to Vishwajeet stating that there was documentary evidence to counter each allegation and that custodial detention was not seen necessary in such circumstances.
