Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in Criminal Appeal No. 732 of 2001, held that the acquittal of the accused under Sections 3(3) and 4(1) of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 was justified due to insufficient evidence. The Court emphasized that confessions must be corroborated and that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision to acquit the accused.
