Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Dhanuben, rejecting their acquittal by the Sessions Judge. The Court emphasized the validity of the dying declarations made by the deceased, which were crucial in establishing the guilt of the accused. Additionally, the Court maintained the conviction under Section 498A IPC for cruelty, affirming the sentence of rigorous imprisonment for two years, while dismissing the appeal against this conviction.
