Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Mohd. Anwar under Section 394 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959, affirming the High Court's decision which reduced his sentence to two years rigorous imprisonment. The Court emphasized that the testimonies of the twelve prosecution witnesses were credible and consistent, and the refusal of the accused to participate in the Test Identification Parade was deemed incriminating. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims of false implication, thus affirming the lower courts' findings.
