RONALD KIPRONO RAMKAT vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 read with Section 511 IPC and Section 302 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. 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 found to be unreliable due to several infirmities. The Court dismissed the appeal, maintaining the trial court's findings and sentence against the appellant.
