Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Daleep Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ram Pal, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court emphasized that the evidence of eyewitnesses, including Ashok Kumar and Veer Singh, was credible and consistent, establishing the appellant's direct involvement in the crime. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of false implication due to enmity, affirming the legal principle that eyewitness testimony can be sufficient for conviction in murder cases.
