DALBIR KAUR & ORS. vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the conviction under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ajaib Singh and Amir Singh. The Court emphasized that the non-examination of independent witnesses and the presence of interested witnesses necessitated caution in evaluating the evidence. It held that the delay in lodging the FIR and the need for an identification parade were critical factors that could lead to grave and substantial injustice, ultimately allowing the appeal and setting aside the convictions.
