Summary of Major R.S. Budhwar v. Union of India (Crl.A. No. 001194/1995) The Supreme Court upheld Major Budhwar's conviction for abetting the murders of two army officers (Colonel S.S. Sahota and Major Jaspal Singh) on June 16, 1987, finding sufficient circumstantial evidence and accomplice testimony despite the direct perpetrators' initial denials. The court dismissed Budhwar's appeal, confirming his life imprisonment sentence, rejecting arguments that accomplice evidence required corroboration where none existed for the actual commission of murders.
