Rajendra And Ors. vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 498A and 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court established that the prosecution's case was supported by two dying declarations made by the deceased, which were consistent and corroborated by witnesses, despite some witnesses being declared hostile. The Court held that the evidence sufficiently proved the appellants' involvement in the crime, resulting in life imprisonment for the murder and a two-year sentence for cruelty.
