Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kulwinder Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Joginder Kaur and Hardip Kaur, establishing that the presence of eyewitness Sarabjit Singh was credible despite minor discrepancies in his testimony. The Court emphasized that the dying declarations made by the victims were admissible and corroborated by physical evidence, including the recovery of murder weapons and fingerprints. The appeal against the Punjab & Haryana High Court's judgment was dismissed, affirming the trial court's findings and the accused's guilt.
