Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Smt. Savita, affirming the findings of the lower courts. The Court emphasized the validity of the dying declarations recorded on 27.2.2000 and 29.2.2000, which provided critical evidence of the appellant's involvement in the crime. The Court ruled that the circumstantial evidence, combined with the dying declarations, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
