Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Champaben, affirming the reliance on her dying declaration as the sole basis for conviction. The Court found no inconsistency in the dying declarations despite the defense's claims, emphasizing the legal acceptability of such declarations when corroborated by medical evidence. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the High Court's affirmation of the trial court's judgment and sentence.
