The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 5 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987, and Sections 4 and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908, for illegal possession of explosives. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the appellant's possession of a significant quantity of explosive materials without a license, which posed a threat to public safety. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
