The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellant under Section 392 IPC and Section 3 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, confirming the trial court's findings that the Appellant, along with an accomplice, committed robbery and extortion by threatening the complainant. The Court found the evidence presented by the prosecution credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the Appellant beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the sentences of rigorous imprisonment for three and five years respectively.
