DAYA SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Daya Singh under Sections 302 and 307 IPC, and Section 5 of the TADA Act, 1987, for murder and attempted murder, affirming the life sentence and additional terms of imprisonment. The Court found the confessional statements unreliable and noted that the evidence presented by witnesses PW37 and PW38 was credible for identifying the appellant. The State's appeal for enhancement of sentence was dismissed, as the acquitted accused were not connected to the crime by sufficient evidence.
