Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 148, 302, 201, and 120B of the IPC, confirming that the appellants conspired to murder Dr. Sridhar, a BJP leader, following the Coimbatore serial blasts. The Court found that the prosecution established beyond reasonable doubt the unlawful assembly and the common object of the accused to kill the deceased. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of their convictions were rejected, affirming the lower court's findings.
