Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the High Court's order allowing the revision application of the accused, who were charged under Section 302 IPC for the murder of a dumb woman. The Court emphasized the importance of dying declarations, noting discrepancies between two declarations made by the deceased, which raised doubts about the identification of the accused. Ultimately, the Court upheld the Sessions Judge's refusal to discharge the accused, reinforcing that the prosecution had sufficient grounds to proceed with the trial under Section 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
