Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the appeals of four accused persons charged under Section 302/149 IPC for the murder of Dalip Singh and Jeet Singh. The Court found the sole testimony of PW.1 insufficient to uphold the conviction, as it deemed him not to be a truthful witness. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's decision and acquitted the accused, establishing the principle that conviction must be based on credible evidence, particularly in serious offenses like murder.
