Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Mohd. Ashfaq, affirming that the dying declarations made by the victim were credible and corroborated by medical evidence. The Court emphasized that the absence of blackening or tattooing on the injuries did not negate the prosecution's case, and the dying declarations were admissible under Section 32 of the Evidence Act. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the trial court's findings and the sentence imposed.
