Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Jasbir, Randhir, and Jagdish for the murder of Hoshiar Singh and others under Section 302 IPC, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and High Court regarding their presence at the crime scene and active participation in the assault. The Court found no merit in Jasbir's alibi defense, as the evidence indicated he could have traveled from Meerut to the village within the time frame. The appeals of the other accused were dismissed, reinforcing the lower courts' conclusions as reasonable and supported by evidence.
