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 presence of the appellants at the crime scene and their active participation in the assault, which resulted in the victim's death. The Court rejected the defense claims of innocence and false implication, emphasizing the sufficiency of evidence presented against the appellants.
