Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC and Section 376 read with Section 511 IPC, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court emphasized that a dying declaration can be the basis for conviction if it meets the tests of reliability and truthfulness, but in this case, the declaration was deemed unreliable due to various infirmities and lack of corroborative evidence. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' decisions.
