Justice G D Khosla was a judge who heard the case of Nathuram Godse and sentenced Nathuram Godse to death.

After Godse was hanged, the judge writes in his book "The Murder of Mahatma and Other Cases from a Judge's Diary" on page number 305 - 06 that:

“In the court, Godse gave a five-hour-long statement, which ran into 90 pages. When Godse stopped speaking after five hours of continuous speech, everyone in the audience was stunned and distraught. The last paragraph of Godse statement is as follows: "My confidence about the Moral side of my Action has not been shaken even by the criticism leveled of against it on all sides. I have no doubts Honest writers of History will weigh my act and find the True Value thereof on someone day in Future."

A deep silence When he stopped speaking, the women had tears in their eyes and the men were also coughing and looking for handkerchiefs….
After hearing Godse's statement, I did not want to give him death sentence but I was forced to do so under the pressure of the Government and Administration. I know that because of the sin I have committed by giving death sentence to Godse, a terrible Punishment is waiting for me in the house of Yamraj. I had given death sentence to an innocent and Great Patriot for which God will Never Forgive me.”
