Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Punjab and Haryana High Court's acquittal of the respondents, who were previously convicted under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Bhupinder Singh. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the nature of the injuries inflicted, established a clear case of premeditated murder. The judgment reinstated the life sentences and fines imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge, affirming the conviction of the accused.
