Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 5 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 and Section 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908, affirming the trial court's finding that the prosecution established the recovery of explosive materials linked to the accused. The Court clarified that while the evidence did not support charges under Section 3 of TADA, the possession of explosives was sufficient for conviction under the cited sections. The sentences of rigorous imprisonment and fines imposed by the trial court were maintained.
