JAGGA SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court held that the appellants were entitled to the benefit of doubt regarding the charge under Section 302 IPC due to inconsistencies in the prosecution's case, particularly the absence of gunshot wounds on the deceased Hoshiar Singh. The Court acquitted the appellants of the charge under Section 302 IPC but found them guilty under Section 325 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for the injury caused to Baggar Singh. The sentence was modified to the period already undergone, and the appeal was disposed of accordingly.
