Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of Sections 5, 7, 9, and 11 of the Special Court's Act, 1979, in the context of criminal conspiracy under Section 120B IPC. The Court held that the evidence required to prove criminal conspiracy must be substantial, and the value of an approver's testimony is contingent upon corroboration. The Court ultimately ruled that the provisions of the Special Court's Act do not violate the Constitution, affirming the legality of the proceedings against the accused.
