MANJIT SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Manjit Singh and Paramjit Singh under Sections 302 and 307 IPC, affirming that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and recovery of weapons, established their involvement in the murder of Jagmohan Singh and attempted murder of Amarjot Singh. The Court emphasized that the presence of motive, as articulated by the witnesses, was crucial in corroborating the prosecution's case. The appeal was dismissed, and the lower court's judgment was confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that eyewitness testimony, when credible, can substantiate charges of serious offenses.
