Shudhakar vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of multiple dying declarations in criminal cases, emphasizing that the credibility of such declarations must be assessed based on the circumstances under which they were made. The Court held that the later dying declarations, which implicated the husband, were more credible than the initial declaration that exonerated him, as the latter was influenced by the deceased's concern for her husband's job. The Court concluded that the accused was guilty of murder under Section 302 IPC, affirming the conviction and sentence imposed by the lower courts.
