STATE OF PUNJAB vs MOHINDER SINGH

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 evidence, including eyewitness accounts and the nature of the attack, established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court also confirmed the sentences of life imprisonment and fines imposed by the Sessions Court, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that direct evidence from witnesses can be sufficient for conviction in murder cases.
