Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kuljit Singh, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed their life sentences and fines. The Court found that the prosecution established the appellants' involvement in the attack, which was premeditated and executed with deadly weapons, despite the defense's claim of self-defense. The Court emphasized the need for accountability in violent crimes and the importance of witness testimonies in establishing the facts of the case.
