Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 457, 392, 397, 307, and 332 IPC, along with Section 5 of the TADA and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The Court found that the evidence of eye-witnesses, including ASI Karam Singh and Head Constable Tarvinder Singh, sufficiently established the commission of theft and the subsequent violent actions of the accused. The Court affirmed the Designated Court's findings, concluding that the evidence warranted the convictions, and dismissed the appeal.
