SHER SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of three accused under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Jaspal Kaur, emphasizing the validity of her later dying declarations over the initial one which claimed the fire was accidental. The Court found that the subsequent statements, made when she was deemed fit to speak, were credible and consistent, leading to the conclusion that the accused were responsible for her death. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentences and fines imposed by the lower court.
