Case History
Case Summary: Bir Singh v. State of Himachal Pradesh (Crl.A. 219/1999) The Supreme Court dismissed Bir Singh's appeal against his conviction for attempted murder (IPC Section 307) of ASI Harjit Ram. The Court upheld the lower courts' findings that the injured officer's detailed eyewitness account, corroborated by two constable witnesses and medical evidence showing seven grievous wounds, was credible and sufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appellant's failure to provide any defense, his presence at the crime scene, and immediate police reporting strengthened the prosecution case, leading to confirmation of the conviction and direction to surrender.
