Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gurdev Singh, Harpal Singh, and Jugraj Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that the trial court's acquittal was perverse. The Court found the evidence of two eyewitnesses credible and consistent, rejecting minor contradictions. The appeals by the convicted appellants were dismissed, and their bail was cancelled, directing their immediate custody to serve the sentence.
