Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Babu Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his brother Jagrup Singh, rejecting the argument that the prosecution failed to establish a conspiracy under Section 120-B IPC. The Court found sufficient evidence, including eyewitness accounts, to support the conviction and affirmed the life sentence imposed by the High Court. The judgment emphasizes the sufficiency of corroborative evidence in murder cases, particularly when direct eyewitness testimony is available.
