SHEIKH MEHEBOOB @ HETAK vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Lalit Kumar, affirming the reliance on the dying declaration and the eyewitness testimony of Hanumandas (PW 2). The Court noted that the concurrent findings of the lower courts were not to be disturbed unless there was a gross miscarriage of justice, which was not established in this case. The Court found the evidence credible and sufficient to support the conviction, thus dismissing the appeal.
