Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 399 and 402 IPC for conspiracy to commit dacoity, and under Section 5 of the TADA Act for possession of firearms. The Court found that the prosecution had sufficiently established the assembly of the accused with the intent to commit a robbery, despite challenges regarding the credibility of witness testimonies. The Court rejected the appellants' claims of inconsistencies in evidence and upheld the trial court's findings, affirming the convictions.
