Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the conviction under Section 5 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 (TADA), where the appellant was sentenced to five years of rigorous imprisonment. The Court noted the interpretation of Section 5 as discussed in Kartar Singh v. State of Punjab, emphasizing that the prosecution must establish that the arms and ammunition were intended for terrorist activities. The Court referred the matter to a three-Judge Bench for further clarification on the scope of Section 5 TADA, indicating the need for a definitive interpretation.
