Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to set aside the acquittal of the appellant under Section 498A and 302 IPC was justified as it re-evaluated the dying declarations made by the deceased, which are crucial in establishing the guilt of the accused. The Court emphasized the importance of dying declarations in cases of alleged dowry death and domestic violence, affirming that the Sessions Court's acquittal was not sustainable given the evidence presented. The case was remanded back to the Sessions Court for fresh consideration of the evidence and the merits of the case.
