JAI KARAN vs STATE OF (N.C.T.DELHI)

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Jai Karan under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Wanti Devi, based on her dying declaration which stated that he poured kerosene on her and set her on fire after a quarrel. The Court found the dying declaration to be a reliable piece of evidence, affirming the lower courts' decisions. The appeal against the life sentence was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that dying declarations can be sufficient for conviction if found credible.
