Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court condoned the delay in Special Leave Petition (Criminal) No. 510 of 1999 and dismissed Special Leave Appeal (Criminal) No. 511 of 1999. The Court upheld the conviction of Amarjit Singh under Section 307 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, while reducing his sentence to the time already served. Jagsir Singh's conviction under Section 27 of the Arms Act was overturned, and the acquittal of nine other accused was maintained, affirming the High Court's judgment.
