Jumni & Ors vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court held that the testimony of alibi witnesses for two of the four appellants was credible, leading to their acquittal, while the dying declaration of the deceased Asha Devi was deemed inseparable from the case against all appellants under Section 302 IPC. The Court emphasized that the dying declaration, which detailed the involvement of all accused in the crime, could not be severed, thus affirming the conviction of the remaining appellants. The judgment underscores the importance of corroborative evidence in cases relying on dying declarations.
