Judgment text excerpt
The High Court of Punjab and Haryana modified the trial court's judgment, acquitting the appellants of the charge under Section 302 IPC due to reasonable doubt regarding the cause of death, as the post-mortem revealed no gunshot wounds on the deceased Hoshiar Singh. However, the court upheld the conviction under Section 325 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for the injury caused to Baggar Singh, affirming the sentence already undergone by the appellants. The appeal was disposed of with the modification of the impugned judgment.
