Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sanichar Sahni under Section 120-B IPC for conspiracy to commit murder, despite his argument that he was not charged with conspiracy alongside his co-accused. The Court found sufficient evidence of conspiracy, emphasizing that the absence of a charge against co-accused does not negate the appellant's culpability. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision which had previously upheld the trial court's conviction and sentence of life imprisonment.
