Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gurdeep Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Banta Singh, affirming the findings of the trial court and High Court based on eyewitness testimonies. The Court noted that the appellant's claim of being a juvenile at the time of the incident did not warrant interference with the conviction. The Court found no merit in the appeal, thereby maintaining the lower courts' decisions.
