Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision to reduce the death sentence under Section 302 IPC to life imprisonment, affirming the conviction of Resham Pal Singh. The Court found no reason to interfere with the High Court's detailed consideration of the sentencing, which included a fine of Rs. 50,000 and additional imprisonment for default. The appeals for enhancement of the punishment to death sentence were dismissed, maintaining the High Court's order.
