Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 364-A IPC for kidnapping a minor girl for ransom, affirming the trial court's findings. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the elements of the offense, including the demand for ransom through letters (Ex. P2 and P3), and the identification of the child in the accused's custody. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court and the High Court's refusal to interfere with the conviction.
