Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the credibility of the prosecution's case regarding the dying declaration of Gajraj, finding it highly unnatural and lacking corroboration from medical evidence. The Court noted discrepancies in the timing of injuries and death, leading to reasonable doubt about Gajraj's ability to make a statement before dying. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, granting the appellants the benefit of doubt and ordering their release if not required in any other case.
