Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Gujarat High Court's order rejecting bail for the appellant in a case involving serious charges under Sections 120B, 121, 121A, 122, 123 IPC, and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, along with provisions of the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002. The Court held that the confessional statement, which was the primary evidence against the appellant, was unsustainable as it was recorded in a language not known to him and was retracted. The Court found no substantial evidence linking the appellant to the conspiracy, affirming the High Court's decision to deny bail.
