Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Ravinder Singh @ Bittu under Sections 3 and 4 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987, along with various sections of the IPC including Section 302 and Section 392, for his involvement in a series of violent crimes including robbery and a train bomb blast. The Court confirmed the life sentence and fines imposed by the Designated Court, emphasizing the gravity of the offenses and the need for deterrence. The appeal was primarily concerned with the appellant's individual culpability, as the co-accused did not appeal their convictions.
