Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Virendera Singh, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the unlawful assembly and the common object of committing murder, as evidenced by the testimonies of eyewitnesses Lokendra Singh and Badri Lal. The appeal by the convicted accused Murli and Heera was dismissed, confirming their guilt and the sentences imposed by the lower courts.
