Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Batcha @ Guramkonda under the Criminal Appeal No. 954 of 2007, affirming the conviction based on two dying declarations recorded by a Sub Inspector and a Magistrate, both made after medical certification of the deceased's fitness to speak. The Court held that these dying declarations were sufficient evidence to uphold the conviction, and thus, no further evidence was required. The appeal concerning appellant No. 2 was dismissed as abated due to his death.
