Judgment text excerpt
The Allahabad High Court reversed the Sessions Judge's acquittal and convicted Sukhdeep Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Karam Singh. The Court found that the evidence presented, particularly the eyewitness accounts and forensic testimony, established the guilt of the appellant beyond reasonable doubt. The Court held that the discrepancies noted by the trial court were insufficient to negate the overwhelming evidence against the accused, leading to a sentence of life imprisonment.
