Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302/34 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court emphasized the admissibility of multiple dying declarations made by the deceased, which were consistent and corroborated by witness testimonies. The Court found that the evidence presented sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants in the murder of Kayyum, rejecting their appeals against the conviction.
