Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the invocation of Section 3(1) of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 was unjustified as the statements made by the accused did not disclose the commission of an offence under this section. The Court emphasized that mere intentions to create fear do not constitute an offence under the Act. Consequently, the Designated Court's decision to discharge the accused and transfer the case to the regular court was upheld, dismissing the appeals from the State and the deceased's father.
