PIARA SINGH & ORS. vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC, stating that the evidence from eyewitnesses was corroborated by medical evidence and other testimonies, including an extra-judicial confession. The Court clarified that while the evidence of interested witnesses must be scrutinized, it cannot be dismissed solely on that basis if deemed credible. The Court emphasized that expert opinions serve to corroborate direct evidence, and in this case, the evidence was sufficient to prove the murder charge beyond reasonable doubt.
