(a) Anti-Terrorism Act (XXVII of 1997)--- ----Ss. 6, 7 & 8---Determination as to whether an offence falls within the ambit of S.6, Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997---Guide lines---Motive and object both make a path for guideance in order to determine whether the offence falls within the domain ofAnti-Terrorism Act or not---Section 6 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 reflects two words, namely, "designed to" and "action" and from the interpretation of both these words one can draw an inference that whether the offence falls within the ambit of terrorism or not---Intention of the Legislature is very much clear from the words "designed to" and "action" and both the words have great impact on each other in order to constitute an action as act of terrorism---From the meaning of simple word "action" it is very different to deduct that the action of a person was an act ofterrorism without the word "designed to" which means object behind the action---If the brutality of the act of a person is declared terrorism, then every murder case will fall within the definition of terrorism, as seen from any angle the murder is always committed in a brutal manner---Definition of terrorism, thus, is incomplete without the words, "designed to" which means the object, motive or purpose behind the act and not the consequential effect created by such act.
