Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC and Section 5 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987, affirming that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the motive linked to extremist activities, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt. The Court emphasized that the prosecution had successfully proven the essential elements of murder and the use of firearms in a terrorist context. The appeal was dismissed, and the lower court's judgment was confirmed.
