Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Karamjit Singh under Sections 3 and 4 of the Explosive Substances Act and Sections 3, 4, and 5 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA), affirming the concurrent sentences of 5 years R.I. for the former and 5 years and 6 months R.I. for the latter. The Court found sufficient evidence of possession of explosive materials and involvement in terrorist activities, rejecting the appellant's claims of non-possession and lack of residence at the site. The judgment emphasized the seriousness of offenses under TADA and the Explosive Substances Act, reinforcing the need for stringent action against terrorism.
