Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Jagroop Singh and Bikkar Singh under Sections 302 and 201 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the guilt of the accused through extra-judicial confessions and the recovery of the murder weapon, which were corroborated by witness testimonies. The Court confirmed the life sentence and fines imposed by the Sessions Court, ruling that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction.
