Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction and death sentences of Mohammed Ajmal Kasab under multiple charges including conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India and committing terrorist acts, as per Sections 121, 122, and 302 IPC, and the Explosive Substances Act, 1908. The Court confirmed the High Court's judgment which had sustained the trial court's findings while dismissing appeals against acquittals of co-accused. The ruling established that the evidence presented was sufficient to uphold the convictions despite the acquittals of others involved.
