SURJIT SINGH ALIAS GURMIT SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302, 326, and 449 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which overturned the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found that the appellant's plea of alibi was not substantiated by evidence, and the misdescriptions in the FIR regarding the incident were deemed insignificant. The Court emphasized that the First Information Report is not a comprehensive account of the case, and the burden of proof lies with the accused to establish an alibi, which the appellant failed to do.
