Gurmeet Singh vs State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of thirteen family members, affirming the death sentence imposed by the trial court. The Court established that the appellant and his co-accused acted with a common intention to kill due to familial discord stemming from an alleged illicit relationship between the appellant's wife and the co-accused. The Court confirmed that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, substantiated the brutal nature of the attack and the appellant's culpability, leading to the dismissal of his appeal.
