MR. GAJJAN SINGH AND ANR. vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 and Section 452 IPC, affirming the findings of the lower courts which accepted the testimonies of eye-witnesses PWs 5, 6, and 9. The Court found that minor inconsistencies in the witnesses' accounts did not undermine their credibility, and the absence of ballistic evidence was not sufficient to cast doubt on the established facts of the case. The Court concluded that the evidence clearly demonstrated the appellants' culpability in the murder of the deceased, thus maintaining the convictions.
