Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 364A IPC for kidnapping for ransom, emphasizing that the prosecution must prove the intent to hold the victim for ransom, as established in prior rulings. The Court clarified that the mere act of kidnapping is insufficient; there must be clear evidence of ransom demands and threats to the victim's life, which were present in this case. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision and the sentence imposed on the accused.
