Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Amarjit Kaur, emphasizing the validity of her dying declarations recorded under Sections 307 and 498A IPC. The Court established that the dying declarations, corroborated by medical evidence, were credible and sufficient to prove the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment.
