Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the admissibility and weight of alibi testimony and the severability of dying declarations under Section 302 IPC. The Court accepted the alibi witnesses' testimony for two appellants, leading to a benefit of doubt for the remaining two appellants due to the inseparable nature of the dying declaration. The judgment ultimately resulted in the acquittal of two appellants while upholding the conviction of the others based on the dying declaration's credibility.
