Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302/34 IPC, affirming the Trial Court's findings that the accused had acted in concert to murder the deceased, Gokul Singh. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the dying declaration recorded by the doctor, which corroborated the prosecution's case. The High Court's reversal of the conviction was deemed erroneous, leading to the reinstatement of the life sentences and fines imposed by the Trial Court.
