The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Resham Singh, Harbans Lal, and Sukhwinder Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Malkiat Singh, while also reversing the acquittal of Tarsem Singh. The Court found that all accused participated in the attack, with Sukhwinder exhorting the others to kill the deceased, and inflicting fatal injuries.
