Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Samsher Singh, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, particularly from PW-11, who identified the accused near the crime scene with blood-stained clothes. The Court found that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against conviction and sentence.
