Joginder Singh vs State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Harjinder Singh, affirming the life sentence and fine imposed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses, despite being related to the deceased, was credible and established that the appellant intentionally fired at the deceased's head. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that only one shot was fired and that Section 302 IPC was inapplicable, confirming that the evidence did not support claims of a law and order situation requiring police intervention.
