Judgment text excerpt
The appellant was convicted under Sections 363A and 364A of the IPC for the kidnapping of a five-year-old child and sentenced to life imprisonment. The prosecution's case relied on the appellant's use of aliases and his sudden disappearance from employment coinciding with the child's disappearance. This appeal challenges the findings of the trial court and the subsequent confirmation by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana.
