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 and corroborative witness testimonies. The Court found that the prosecution established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, despite challenges regarding the credibility of the dying declaration and recovery of evidence. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life sentence and fine imposed by the lower courts.
