State Of Rajasthan vs Champa Lal

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the respondent under Section 302 IPC by the Rajasthan High Court, which was based on the rejection of a dying declaration due to non-compliance with police rules. The Court held that the authenticity of the dying declaration was not in doubt, and emphasized that the trial court's reliance on it was justified. The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal, reinstating the conviction under Section 302 IPC, thereby affirming the trial court's findings.
