Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant Samrajyam under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Mudusu Bhadramma, affirming the reliance on two dying declarations despite discrepancies. The Court found that while there were improvements in the second dying declaration, both declarations consistently identified the appellant as the perpetrator who poured kerosene and set the deceased on fire. The Court ruled that the medical evidence did not sufficiently undermine the credibility of the dying declarations, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
