Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals arising from the High Court's judgment which acquitted A2-Yasmeen Mohammad Zahid of charges under Section 125 IPC and Sections 39 and 40 of the UAPA, while upholding her conviction under Section 120B IPC and Section 38 of the UAPA. The Court held that the High Court erred in acquitting her of the charges under Section 125 IPC and reducing her sentence, emphasizing the seriousness of the offences related to terrorism and conspiracy. The Court reinstated the original sentences imposed by the trial court, thereby affirming the convictions under the relevant sections of IPC and UAPA.
