Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the trial court's reliance on the dying declaration of the deceased, which was deemed credible and reliable. The Court found that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the intent to kill, and the involvement of the co-accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC was also justified. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the life sentence and fine imposed by the lower courts.
