Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the respondents in a case involving the murder of Tikaram, holding that the prosecution had established the guilt of the accused under Section 302 IPC. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the dying declaration of the victim, which corroborated the prosecution's case. The judgment reaffirmed the legal principle that a dying declaration can be a reliable basis for conviction if it is made in a fit state of mind and is consistent with other evidence.
