Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 364(A) and Section 114 IPC for kidnapping and extortion, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Ahmedabad City Sessions Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the elements of kidnapping for ransom, including the demand for Rs. 10,00,000/- and the threat to the child's life. The appeal against the Gujarat High Court's dismissal was rejected, confirming the lower court's findings and the sufficiency of evidence presented.
