Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gurmit Singh under Sections 302, 326, 324, and 452 IPC, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the lower courts. The Court found that the evidence established a clear case of murder and grievous hurt, with the accused acting in concert as per Section 34 IPC. The Court noted that the appeal was filed after the High Court dismissed the common appeal of the accused, and the conviction was deemed final for Kulwant Singh, who did not appeal.
