Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the admissibility of dying declarations, referencing Section 302 IPC and Section 149 IPC. It established that a dying declaration can sustain a conviction if it inspires confidence, without the necessity for corroboration unless there are infirmities. The Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for murder and related offenses, affirming the lower court's judgment and sentence of life imprisonment.
