MUNNU RAJA & ANR. vs THE STAE OF MADHYA PRADESH

The Supreme Court held that the Sessions Court erred in discarding the first information report (FIR) as a dying declaration under Section 32(1) of the Evidence Act, affirming that it is admissible as it relates to the cause of death. The Court clarified that a dying declaration does not need to cover the entire incident and can be acted upon without corroboration, provided it is presented in its entirety. The High Court's conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC was upheld, reversing the acquittal by the Sessions Court.
