Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Jit Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Gurdip Singh, affirming the Designated Court's findings. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the circumstances of the crime, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. The appeal by the complainant seeking conviction of co-accused Gurtaj Singh was dismissed, as the evidence did not support his involvement in the murder.
