Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Thirupathamma, affirming the reliability of the dying declarations recorded by the police and the Mandal Revenue Officer. The Court found that the evidence established the accused's intention to kill, as he poured kerosene on the deceased and set her on fire after a quarrel. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that dying declarations can be sufficient for conviction if found credible.
