Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Wahid Khan, affirming the reliance on the dying declaration made by the deceased and corroborated by witnesses. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the recovery of a blood-stained knife and the testimony of witnesses, was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentence along with the imposed fine was upheld.
