Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the State of Punjab against the acquittal of Paramjit Singh for the murder charge under Section 302 of the IPC. The court found that the High Court had validly disbelieved the testimonies of the key witnesses, including an alleged eyewitness and a person claiming to have heard an extra-judicial confession. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the acquittal was based on a reasonable interpretation of the evidence presented.
