    Summary: The Additional District and Sessions Judge dismissed Mani's appeal and confirmed his conviction under Section 394 IPC (dacoity) for a July 2016 robbery where he and an accomplice attacked and robbed a woman of a 6.5-sovereign gold chain worth ₹1,30,000. The court found the victim's testimony (PW1) credible and reliable despite hostile recovery witnesses, noting she clearly identified the accused in daylight and suffered a knife wound, making conviction on her sole testimony appropriate under settled law.
