Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gurjit Singh and Surjit Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Jagsir Singh, affirming that the prosecution established the necessary elements of the crime, including the intent and premeditated action of the accused. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, corroborated the prosecution's case against the accused, who had attacked the deceased with weapons in a premeditated manner. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction was confirmed, reinforcing the principle that joint liability under Section 34 IPC applies when multiple individuals act in concert to commit a crime.
