STATE OF PUNJAB vs AJAIB SINGH

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the respondents under Sections 148, 302, and 302/34 IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution had established a clear motive linked to a disputed will regarding property. The Court held that the acquittal was erroneous as the evidence presented indicated the respondents' involvement in the murders of five family members, including their mother and grandmother. The judgment of the Additional Sessions Judge, which had sentenced the respondents to death, was reinstated.
