Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for murder, stating that the prosecution had established the presence of the accused at the scene of the crime and their use of deadly weapons, which resulted in the death of Balu Singh. The Court emphasized that the injuries sustained by the deceased were consistent with the use of blunt weapons and that the accused's claim of self-defense was not substantiated. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
