GURJIT SINGH @ GORA vs STATE OF HARYANA

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 the act of murder. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently demonstrated the involvement of the accused in the premeditated attack on the deceased. The appeal was dismissed, and the High Court's judgment was confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that joint liability under Section 34 IPC applies when multiple individuals act in concert to commit a crime.
