Banarsi Dass & Ors vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 498A IPC and Section 304B IPC, emphasizing the importance of the dying declaration recorded by ASI Jagdeep Singh, which was deemed credible as the deceased was in a fit state of mind. The Court noted that the trial court's rejection of the dying declaration was erroneous, and the evidence of cruelty was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to convict the appellants under both sections of the IPC.
