Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Gurdev Singh, affirming the High Court's decision which overturned the Sessions Court's acquittal. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the motive and eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants. The Court emphasized that the High Court was justified in its intervention as the Sessions Judge's conclusions were deemed perverse in light of the evidence.
