Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Jasbir Singh under Sections 399 and 402 IPC, and Section 25 of the Arms Act, affirming the High Court's decision while reducing the sentence under Section 399 IPC to five years. The Court established that the presence of the accused at the scene, armed and planning a dacoity, constituted sufficient evidence for conviction. The judgment emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in criminal proceedings, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
