Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sahab Singh and Bachu Singh under Section 302 IPC, read with Sections 148 and 149 IPC, for the murder of Sher Singh. The Court found that the evidence presented by eyewitnesses, particularly Pushpa and Bhim Singh, was reliable and corroborated the prosecution's case, despite the defense's claim of accidental death. The appeal by the convicted persons was dismissed, affirming their life sentences and fines imposed by the High Court.
