KAKA SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 5 of the TADA Act and Section 25 of the Arms Act for possessing a firearm and live cartridges without a license. The Court found the evidence of Inspector Sohan Singh credible, noting that the details of the rifle were consistent in the FIR and recovery memo. The Court concluded that the prosecution had sufficiently established the appellant's illegal possession of the firearm in a notified area, thereby affirming the lower court's decision.
