Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming that the evidence presented established the accused's involvement in the attack that led to Balu Singh's death. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple injuries on the deceased, consistent with the use of blunt weapons, corroborated the prosecution's case. The Court dismissed the defense's claim of self-defense, concluding that the accused acted with premeditated intent to kill.
