Gurjinder Singh vs State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Sandeep Singh, confirming the life sentence and fine imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the motive, as the deceased had lent a significant sum of money to the appellant, which was not repaid. The Court emphasized the credibility of the eyewitness account and the circumstantial evidence, rejecting the appellant's defense of self-defense and alternative narrative of the incident.
