Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court considered appeals filed by the complainant and the State of Punjab against a High Court judgment that acquitted two accused persons of murder under Section 302 read with Section 34 and 324 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution alleged that the accused waylaid and killed the deceased due to a pending civil litigation regarding land possession. The court examined whether the High Court was justified in reversing the Sessions Court's conviction based on the evidence provided.
