Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Punjab and Haryana High Court's acquittal of Ginder Singh for the murder of Bant Singh under Section 302 IPC and for causing disappearance of evidence under Section 201 IPC. The Court established that the prosecution had sufficiently demonstrated the involvement of Ginder Singh in the murder, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of the evidence presented. The Court held that the High Court erred in its judgment and reinstated the conviction, thereby affirming the lower court's findings against Ginder Singh.
