Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kamaljit Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Gurcharan Singh and Sucha Singh, establishing that the use of a kirpan in a sudden altercation constituted intentional murder. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's evidence, including eyewitness accounts and the motive of prior threats, was sufficient to prove the guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
