Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's acquittal of Ganwara under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing the importance of the dying declaration made by the victim, which detailed the accused's intent to kill due to dowry demands. The Court held that the High Court erred in disbelieving the prosecution's evidence and that the dying declaration was corroborated by multiple witnesses. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and sentence of life imprisonment imposed by the trial court.
