Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that under Article 136(1) of the Constitution, it will not exercise its powers unless exceptional circumstances are shown that substantial injustice has occurred. The Court clarified that a confession can be corroborated by evidence already in police possession, rejecting the argument that such corroboration is impermissible. The appeals were dismissed as the Court found no grounds to warrant a review of the lower court's decision.
