SREERAMA MURTHY vs STATE OF A P

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Sections 302, 498-A, and 304-B IPC, affirming that the dying declarations were genuine and truthful. The Court noted that the trial court's reliance on the dying declarations was justified, as they were recorded by a magistrate after ensuring the declarant's fitness. The Court dismissed the appeals, confirming the conviction for murder and stating that the question of conviction under Section 304-B became academic once the murder conviction was established.
