Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Satish Kumar and Dhajja Ram for the murder of Shamsher under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the Punjab & Haryana High Court. The court found sufficient evidence to support the conviction, including the application of Sections 506 and 323 of the Code for criminal intimidation and causing hurt, respectively. The judgment reinforces the principles of criminal liability and the evidentiary standards required for murder convictions.
