Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for the murder of Preetam Singh, affirming the High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses PWs.1 and 2, despite being questioned, was sufficient to establish the presence of the accused at the scene and their involvement in the unlawful assembly. The Court emphasized that the trial court's doubts regarding the eyewitnesses did not negate the corroborative evidence presented, leading to the conclusion that the appellants were guilty as charged.
