MOTI SINGH AND ANOTHER vs STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court held that the dying declaration of G was inadmissible under Section 32(1) of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, as there was no evidence establishing the cause of G's death. The Court emphasized that a dying declaration is only relevant if it relates to the cause of death or circumstances leading to it. Since G's death was not conclusively linked to the injuries he sustained, the appellants' conviction could not be upheld based solely on this declaration, leading to their acquittal.
