Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Saraswati Bai, affirming the validity of her dying declaration as a key piece of evidence. The Court found that the prosecution established the common intention of the accused to commit the crime, and the High Court's rejection of the appeal regarding the dying declaration was justified. The appellant's sentence of life imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 2,000 was confirmed.
