Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Designated Court's order under the TADA (P) Act, 1987, rejecting the CBI's application for adding charges under Section 302 IPC and other relevant sections. The Court emphasized that the Designated Court must consider the gravity of the offenses, including those under Section 3(2) of the TADA Act, in light of the serious nature of the bomb blasts that resulted in numerous casualties. The Court held that the CBI's request for additional charges was justified, thereby allowing the addition of charges against the accused under the specified sections.
