Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions filed by Satish and Vikky challenging their conviction under Section 364-A of the IPC for kidnapping for ransom. The court upheld the findings of the Allahabad High Court, which had confirmed their life sentences, emphasizing the gravity of the crime and the clear evidence against the petitioners. The court noted that the actions of the petitioners constituted a serious threat to public safety and warranted the severe punishment imposed.
