Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of appellant No.2 under Section 302 IPC and appellant No.1 under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Surjit Singh. The Court found that the evidence of three eyewitnesses was credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the appellants, while the defense witnesses were not believed. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's reliance on eyewitness testimony and medical evidence was justified, leading to the conclusion that the trial court's conviction was warranted.
