casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Crl.A. No. 595/2000 The Supreme Court upheld the murder convictions of appellants Harjit Singh and Surinder Singh under IPC Section 302 read with Section 34, confirming their life sentences. However, the Court set aside their convictions under the TADA Act (Section 3), finding insufficient evidence that the killing of Avtar Singh was intended to strike terror among the public rather than merely take personal vengeance. The Court accepted witness testimony identifying the appellants as the assailants but found the prosecution failed to prove the terrorist intent required under TADA law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
