Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302/34 IPC and Section 3(2) of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987, for the murder of Om Prakash and the injuries caused to his son Suresh. The Court emphasized that hallucination cannot be a defense in the face of overwhelming evidence of the appellant's involvement in the crime, including eyewitness accounts of the appellant being armed and present during the attack. The Court affirmed the lower court's findings and sentences, including rigorous imprisonment and fines for various offenses under IPC.
