SHAIKH BAKSHU vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Rubina, confirming the findings of the Bombay High Court. The Court found that the dying declarations recorded by the police and Naib Tahsildar were credible and established the involvement of the appellants in the crime. The conviction under Section 498-A IPC was set aside due to insufficient evidence, leading to a partial acquittal of the appellants.
