ROOP SINGH AND OTHERS vs THE STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the six appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 and Section 326 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the Punjab and Haryana High Court's ruling. The Court found that the High Court's judgment did not contravene established legal principles and was supported by evidence of long-standing enmity leading to the murders. The appellants were sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and three years for causing grievous hurt, with both sentences running concurrently.
