PREM SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Krishan, affirming the High Court's decision which found the appellants guilty despite the acquittal of other co-accused. The Court noted that the evidence presented, particularly the testimonies of witnesses P.W.1 and P.W.4, established the involvement of the appellants in the assault leading to the deceased's death. The Court rejected the argument that the acquittal of others precluded the conviction of the appellants, emphasizing that the evidence against them was sufficient to sustain the conviction.
