The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302 IPC and Section 3 of the TADA Act, affirming that the prosecution established the appellant's involvement in the murder of Attar Singh. The Court found the testimonies of the three eyewitnesses credible despite minor inconsistencies, ruling that the incident occurred in the house of Sajjan Singh. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented was sufficient to support the conviction, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
