Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined an appeal against the conviction of two appellants for the murder of Sarabjit Singh under Section 302 read with 34 of the IPC. The trial and high court upheld the conviction, and the Court considered procedural issues related to the non-prosecution of the first appellant due to non-availability of address. The Court recalled the order dismissing the appeal against the first appellant to allow a meritorious examination of the case, emphasizing the importance of fair trial and proper prosecution procedures.
