Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, confirming the findings of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Court noted that the prosecution established the involvement of the appellants in the murder of Surjan Singh through credible eyewitness testimony and corroborative evidence. The acquittal of co-accused Parminder Singh was also upheld, as the evidence did not implicate him in the crime.
