Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of appeals by the Punjab & Haryana High Court regarding the acquittal of Gurcharan Singh and the conviction of the other accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC. The Court reiterated that the prosecution must establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, and in this case, the evidence was insufficient to overturn the acquittal. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, maintaining the status quo of the trial court's findings.
