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 that set aside the Sessions Judge's acquittal. The Court found that the High Court correctly exercised its jurisdiction, as the evidence demonstrated a clear motive and direct involvement of the appellants in the murder. The Court emphasized that the Sessions Judge's conclusions were indeed perverse, justifying the High Court's intervention.
