Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC, Section 120-B IPC, Sections 25(1)(c) and 27 of the Arms Act, and Section 5 of the TADA Act, affirming the Designated Court's findings that the appellants conspired to commit murder and executed a planned attack resulting in multiple fatalities. The Court ruled that the confessional statements were admissible despite the appellants' claims of lack of corroborative evidence, as the procedural requirements under TADA were met. The appeals were dismissed, and the sentences, including life imprisonment, were upheld.
