The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with 34 of the IPC for the murder of Sarabjit Singh, the Sarpanch. The trial court and the High Court both confirmed the conviction, and the Court noted that the appellants had already served about eight years of incarceration. The Court also considered the procedural aspect of serving notice to the appellants, with the appeal continuing despite difficulties in serving the first appellant. The judgment emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the conviction while addressing procedural issues.
