casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed Harnek Singh's appeal against his conviction under Section 25 of the Arms Act and Section 5 of the TADA Act for possessing an unlicensed .22 bore pistol with 25 cartridges. The court upheld the conviction, finding credible police testimony that the weapon was in working condition despite the lack of formal test-firing, and that possession in a notified area violated both arms and TADA provisions.
