Mohammed Arshad vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302/34 IPC, affirming that the dying declarations made by the deceased, Kayyum, were credible and consistent. The Court emphasized that the dying declaration is a vital piece of evidence, especially when corroborated by other testimonies. The appeal was dismissed, and the life imprisonment sentence along with a fine of Rs. 3,000/- was maintained, reinforcing the principle that dying declarations can be the sole basis for conviction if found reliable.
