Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Manjeet Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Baba Gurcharan Singh, affirming the findings of the designated court. The Court noted that the prosecution established the presence of eyewitnesses, including PW-6, who identified the appellant as one of the assailants. The Court also addressed the conspiracy under Section 120B IPC but upheld the acquittal of the other accused due to lack of evidence against them. The conviction under the Terrorist Activities and Disruptive Prevention Act, 1987 was also affirmed, emphasizing the gravity of the crime committed.
