Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ranbir Singh and three co-accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Anand, affirming the admissibility of a confession recorded by a Magistrate. The Court found that the confession was voluntary and genuine, and that the evidence presented, including eyewitness testimony, supported the conviction. The Court dismissed the appeals, confirming the life sentences imposed by the High Court.
