NARAIN SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA

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 importance of the dying declaration as a critical piece of evidence, despite the absence of eyewitness support. The High Court's decision to acquit two co-accused was affirmed, while the life imprisonment sentence for the appellants was maintained, establishing that a dying declaration can be sufficient for conviction if corroborated by other evidence.
