Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Tejinder Singh (A-1) under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Jasbir Singh, affirming the trial court's findings based on eyewitness accounts and the recovery of blood-stained weapons. The Court found that the prosecution had established the necessary elements of murder, including intent and premeditation, and dismissed the appeal against the conviction. The appeal by the State for enhancement of sentence was also considered but not granted, maintaining the life sentence imposed on A-1.
