SURESH B. KALANI vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals of Suresh Budharmal Kalani and Dr. Aken Kumar Gajendra Rai Desai against charges framed under Section 3(3) of the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 (TADA) and Section 120B IPC. The Court held that the prosecution's evidence did not sufficiently establish a conspiracy to murder, as the witnesses did not corroborate the existence of such a conspiracy. Consequently, the charges against the appellants were quashed, emphasizing the necessity of credible evidence in conspiracy cases under TADA.
