Alistair & Ors vs State Of Tamil Nadu

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 451 and 381 read with Section 120-B IPC, while acquitting them of charges under the TADA Act. The Court confirmed the Designated Court's finding that the appellants unlawfully trespassed and stole radioactive resources, but noted the absence of ulterior motives for financial gain. The sentence was reduced to the period already undergone, as the appellants had served more than 1 year and 9 months, which was deemed sufficient for justice.
