Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 27 of the Arms Act, affirming the findings of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Court found that the evidence presented, including witness testimonies, established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, and rejected the claim of right to private defense. The Court emphasized that the trial court's reliance on the evidence was justified and that the circumstances of the case did not support the appellant's defense.
