Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 364A, 392, and 120B of the IPC, affirming the life imprisonment and fines imposed by the trial court. The Court emphasized that the elements of kidnapping for ransom under Section 364A IPC were sufficiently established, and the involvement of the appellants in a conspiracy to commit these crimes was proven under Section 120B IPC. The appeals against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's dismissal were therefore rejected, maintaining the lower court's decisions.
