Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sukhbir Singh under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court. However, the Court set aside the convictions of the other accused under Sections 302/149, 326, 323, and 324 IPC, determining that their detention already served was sufficient punishment. The Court clarified that the evidence presented did not support the collective guilt of the other accused under the aforementioned sections, leading to their acquittal.
