Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Bhagwati Singh and his three sons for the murder of Chandrapal Singh and attempted murder of Rakesh Kumar. The court confirmed the life sentence under Section 302 IPC and seven years of rigorous imprisonment under Section 307 IPC, while discarding the testimony of one witness. The court found sufficient evidence to maintain the convictions despite challenges to the credibility of certain testimonies.
