Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Major Singh and his co-accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Dalip Singh, affirming the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the crime scene and their active participation in the assault, which was motivated by a land dispute. The Court also confirmed the sentences imposed, including life imprisonment and fines, under Section 460 IPC for the house trespass leading to murder.
