Case History
Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 982/2010 – Harvinder Singh v. State of Punjab The Supreme Court dismissed Harvinder Singh's criminal appeal on July 10, 2014, upholding his conviction under IPC Sections 302 (murder) and 201 (concealing evidence) for killing his stepson Rahul. The appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment plus two years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1,000. The Court found the conviction well-founded based on circumstantial evidence, extra-judicial confessions before witnesses, and the appellant's disclosure statement leading to recovery of the deceased's tiffin box—which demonstrated his special knowledge of the crime. The Court rejected all defense arguments challenging witness contradictions, the delay in FIR registration, and the tiffin box recovery's evidential value.
