Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 120B IPC and Section 3 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987, affirming life imprisonment for the accused. The Court found that the confessional statements made by the accused were voluntary and admissible, as they were made in the presence of the Superintendent of Police after being warned of their potential use against them. The Court emphasized the importance of timely lodging of the FIR and the credibility of eyewitness testimony, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
