Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Jabar Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Sarnam Singh, affirming the High Court's reversal of the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found sufficient evidence from multiple eyewitnesses and four recorded dying declarations, which established the appellant's culpability. The Court rejected the appellant's argument regarding the medical evidence, concluding that the conviction was justified based on the testimonies and circumstances surrounding the case.
