Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Dilawar Singh, Yash Pal, and Shamsher Singh under Section 302 IPC read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment sentence and fine of Rs. 5,000 each. The Court found that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the scene and their active participation in the attack on Narinder Singh, leading to his death. The appeals by the State of Haryana and the father of the deceased against the acquittal of other accused were also considered, but the Court maintained the original verdict for the convicted appellants.
