Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of her daughter-in-law, based on the dying declarations made by the deceased, which were consistent and detailed regarding the involvement of the appellant in the act of setting her on fire. The Court emphasized that discrepancies in dying declarations do not necessarily invalidate them if they are corroborated by other evidence. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of discrepancies and tutoring, affirming the lower court's decision and dismissing the appeal.
