Sahib Singh vs State of Punjab

Bench: 2 — A.S. Bopanna

In Brief

Sahib Singh was convicted under Section 326 IPC for grievous hurt in an assault incident on 26 January 2002 where he allegedly attacked two brothers near a tube well. Though not named in the original FIR, he was identified during investigation and trial as being armed with a kirpan. The injured eyewitnesses—the complainant and another victim—specifically testified about his presence and role in the attack. The Supreme Court upheld both the Trial Court and High Court's concurrent conviction, finding the eyewitness evidence credible and sufficient, and dismissed his appeal."
