Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Balwant Singh and his sons under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kuldeep Singh, affirming the findings of the Punjab & Haryana High Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the scene, their armed assault on the victim, and the resulting fatal injuries. The Court found no merit in the appeal, thereby confirming the lower court's judgment and sentence.
