Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of appellants Vijay Singh and Hari Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Bhagirath, finding that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, sufficiently established their culpability. The Court noted that Vijay Singh inflicted a fatal injury with a ballam, while Hari Singh used a farsa, corroborated by the postmortem report indicating multiple injuries consistent with the weapons used. The High Court's affirmation of the conviction and life sentence was deemed appropriate, as the appellants failed to demonstrate any error in the trial court's findings.
