Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Shamim, affirming the reliance on the dying declaration as the primary evidence against him. The Court noted that while the trial court and High Court dismissed other eyewitness accounts, the dying declaration was deemed credible and specific in naming the appellant. The Court rejected the appellant's arguments regarding the unreliability of the dying declaration and the identity of the appellant, thus affirming the life sentence imposed by the lower courts.
