Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of her daughter-in-law, Kavita, based on her dying declaration. The Court found that despite Kavita suffering from 80% burns, she was conscious and capable of giving a statement, which was corroborated by medical evidence. The Court rejected the appellant's arguments regarding the reliability of the dying declaration and confirmed the lower courts' findings, affirming the conviction.
