Roop Ram & Anr vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court held that the conviction under Section 302/34 IPC was not sustainable due to the lack of credible evidence supporting the dying declaration made by the deceased Gajraj. The Court found the circumstances surrounding the declaration to be highly unnatural, as Gajraj was unconscious when found and only briefly regained consciousness to make the statement before lapsing back into unconsciousness. The Court ultimately overturned the trial court's conviction, emphasizing the need for corroborative evidence in such cases.
