Sukhwant Singh @ Balwinder Singh vs State Through C.B.I

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 120 IPC, Sections 3 and 6(1) of the TADA Act, and Section 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908, affirming the trial court's findings. The Court reiterated that a properly recorded confessional statement, satisfying Section 15 of the TADA Act, can be sufficient for conviction if deemed voluntary and truthful. It clarified that while corroboration is generally required for confessions used against co-accused, exceptions exist where the confession's probative value is strong enough to warrant conviction without it.
