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 causing injuries to others. The Court found that the prosecution established the presence of an unlawful assembly with a common object to commit murder, supported by eyewitness testimonies. The High Court's acquittal of three other accused was set aside, affirming the trial court's life sentences for the convicted accused.
