Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the conviction of the appellant under Section 398 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act. The Court found that the key witness, Bismillah Begum, did not support the prosecution's case, stating the appellant was not the person who attempted the robbery. Consequently, the Court set aside the conviction under Section 398 IPC, while noting that the conviction under Section 25 of the Arms Act had become infructuous due to the appellant's completed sentence. The appellant was ordered to be released unless required in another case.
