Abrar vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court held that the conviction under Section 302 IPC was justified based on the dying declarations of the victim, Mohd. Ashfaq, despite the two eye witnesses turning hostile. The Court emphasized that dying declarations can be the sole basis for conviction if found credible and consistent, as per Section 32(1) of the Evidence Act. The Court upheld the trial court's decision, affirming that the evidence presented sufficiently established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt.
