Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the acquittal by the Bombay High Court, reinstating the conviction under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Veena. The Court held that the dying declarations and circumstantial evidence, including eyewitness accounts, were sufficient to establish the accused's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized the importance of the victim's statements made shortly before her death, affirming the trial court's findings and sentencing the accused to life imprisonment.
