Raghbinder Singh vs Bant Kaur & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Jang Singh and Raghbinder Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Lal Singh, affirming the trial court's findings that the defendants were liable for damages in a civil suit filed by the deceased's family. The Court noted that the civil proceedings progressed faster than the criminal proceedings, which raised questions about the timing of appeals. Ultimately, the Court dismissed the appeal, reinforcing the principle that civil liability can exist independently of criminal proceedings.
