The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Narinder Singh and Ravinder Singh alias Khanna, upholding the High Court's decision to overturn their acquittal and convict them for the murder of Gurdev Singh under Section 302/34 IPC. The Court found the trial court's acquittal manifestly erroneous, holding that the prosecution witnesses (particularly the victim's son Hardip Singh and village Lambardar Bikar Singh) were credible and their testimony was corroborated by medical evidence and the recovery of the murder weapon, establishing the appellants' common intention to kill the victim over a dispute regarding the Granthi position at the local Gurudwara.
