BHAGAT SINGH vs THE STATEGURDEV SINGH-- Caveator.

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's act of firing a shot at two individuals, B and C, constituted a single offence under Section 307 of the Penal Code, and thus did not amount to a misjoinder of charges as per Section 234(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Court affirmed the conviction and death sentence imposed by the Sessions Judge, stating that the trial was valid and did not contravene the provisions regarding the number of offences charged. The judgment clarified that while a single act can constitute one offence, it does not preclude the possibility of it constituting multiple offences in different contexts.
