Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kaptan Singh and Section 307 IPC for the attempted murder of Indal Singh, affirming the trial court's reliance on eyewitness testimony despite the acquittal for the murder of Kalyan Singh due to unreliable witness accounts. The Court found that the prosecution's case was substantiated by credible evidence, and the arguments regarding the reliability of witnesses and the cross case were insufficient to overturn the convictions. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the life sentence and additional imprisonment for the attempted murder.
