Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Harjeet Singh, Varinderjit Singh, and Gursharan Singh under Sections 302, 307, 326, 324, and 323 read with Section 34 IPC for their involvement in the murder of Harjinder Singh and attempted murder of Gurvinder Singh. The Court affirmed the trial court's findings, rejecting the High Court's acquittal of three other accused, emphasizing the necessity of eyewitness testimony in establishing the prosecution's case. The judgment reinforced the principle that participation in an unlawful assembly with a common object can lead to collective liability under the IPC.
