Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Balwan Singh under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 323/34 IPC for causing simple injuries, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the prosecution established the involvement of the accused in the attack on the deceased, Ram Chander, supported by eyewitness accounts. The appeal by the State against the acquittal of co-accused A2 and A3 was noted but not addressed in this judgment, leading to the confirmation of the life sentence for Balwan Singh.
