PARBIN ALI vs STATE OF ASSAM

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Sakat Ali, affirming the High Court's decision which relied on the oral dying declaration of the deceased. The Court found that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt despite the absence of direct evidence, and the minor discrepancies pointed out by the defense did not undermine the prosecution's case. The sentence of life imprisonment and a fine was also upheld, confirming the lower courts' findings.
