Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Daya Singh Lahoriya and Suman Sood under Sections 364A, 365, 343, and 346 read with 120B IPC, confirming the High Court's decision which had set aside Suman's acquittal for Section 364A. The Court emphasized that the elements of kidnapping and conspiracy were sufficiently established, and the gravity of the offences warranted life imprisonment. The judgment reinforces the stringent application of kidnapping laws under the IPC, particularly in cases involving threats to influential individuals.
