Ashiq Hussain Faktoo vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition challenging the conviction under Section 3 of the TADA Act and Section 302 read with Section 120B IPC. The Court emphasized that the basis of conviction was an alleged confession, which was argued to lack legal validity as it was not made in accordance with Section 15 of the TADA Act and lacked corroboration. The Court ultimately referred the matter to a larger bench for further consideration, indicating the need for a thorough review of the legal principles surrounding confessions under the TADA Act and their admissibility.
