Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Gurmit Singh's appeal against his conviction for murder (IPC §302/34), grievous hurt (§326), and criminal intimidation (§452). Singh was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing Kashmir Singh during a violent attack on May 24, 1989. The Court upheld the trial and High Court's reliance on eyewitness testimony from three credible witnesses present at the victim's home, rejecting Singh's self-defense plea and his argument that unexplained injuries on his person cast doubt on the prosecution case, finding the prosecution evidence clear and cogent.
