Kishore vs The State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 148 IPC, Section 460 read with Section 149 IPC, and Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, confirming the life imprisonment sentence. The Court emphasized the necessity of a test identification parade, which was not conducted, and noted the absence of crucial witnesses, thereby raising doubts about the reliability of the prosecution's evidence. However, the Court found that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the convictions despite the procedural lapses.
