Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Wahid Khan, emphasizing the significance of the dying declaration made by the deceased, which was corroborated by multiple witnesses. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the recovery of a blood-stained knife and the testimony of witnesses, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt despite challenges regarding the credibility of the dying declaration. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence imposed by the lower courts.
