BALBIR SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Amrik Singh, affirming that the evidence of two eyewitnesses was sufficient despite the acquittal of the other accused. The Court noted that the delay in lodging the FIR did not undermine the credibility of the eyewitnesses, as the medical evidence corroborated the cause of death resulting from the appellant's actions. The Court emphasized that the prosecution had established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
