Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 364, 302, and 323 read with Section 34 IPC for the abduction and murder of Kaushal Singh. The Court emphasized the validity of the dying declaration as a key piece of evidence, despite the absence of eyewitness support, affirming the Trial Court's findings. The acquittal of two co-accused by the High Court was noted, but the appellants' life sentences were maintained, reinforcing the principle that dying declarations can be sufficient for conviction when corroborated by other evidence.
