Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the appellant's involvement in the bombing incident that resulted in the death of Gopal Sharma and injuries to others. The Court also noted that the sentences under the Explosive Substances Act were set aside by the High Court, but the convictions under IPC sections were maintained, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
