Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Suraj Bhan under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kehar Singh, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the life sentence. The Court found that the attack was premeditated, stemming from a prior animosity related to a dispute over plums. The Court also noted that the acquittal of other co-accused was justified due to lack of evidence against them, while the conviction under Section 325 IPC was set aside due to insufficient grounds.
