Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 498A IPC, emphasizing the validity of the dying declaration made by the deceased, Smt. Roshni, which detailed the circumstances of her death and the harassment she faced. The Court found that the dying declaration, corroborated by the evidence presented, was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused. The appellants were sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and additional imprisonment for the dowry-related offense, affirming the High Court's judgment.
