Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Gurpreet Singh, affirming the findings of the Sessions Court and the High Court. The Court established that the evidence of eyewitnesses, including the father of the deceased, was credible and corroborated by medical testimony, which confirmed the cause of death and the nature of injuries. The Court emphasized that the presence of the accused at the scene and the manner of the attack were sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
