Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 5 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 (TADA), affirming the Designated Court's finding that the prosecution had established the appellants' possession of explosive substances. The Court noted that the absence of certain police officers as witnesses did not undermine the reliability of the prosecution's evidence, as the testimonies of the police officers present were sufficient to support the conviction. The appellants were sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 500 each.
