GURMEJ SINGH AND ORS. vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Harnam Singh, despite the non-examination of an eyewitness, Narain Singh. The Court noted that the prosecution's case was sufficiently supported by the testimonies of P.Ws 2 and 3, and the defense did not challenge the assertion that Narain Singh had been won over. The Court emphasized that the absence of this witness did not undermine the credibility of the prosecution's case, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
