Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302, 427, 323, 120B, 143, and 149 IPC, as well as Section 4(3) of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1985, for conspiring to murder Shri A.P. Pandey and causing damage to his vehicle. The Court established that the act of intentionally dashing the truck against the staff car constituted a clear attempt to commit murder, and the evidence presented was sufficient to support the charges. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
