Sudhir Kumar Jain vs The State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 3 read with 25 of the Arms Act for illegal possession of a firearm. The Court found that the dying declaration of the deceased, corroborated by the testimony of a constable who was present at the scene, was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt. The High Court's affirmation of the life sentence was also upheld, confirming the legal principle that a dying declaration can be a valid basis for conviction if corroborated by other evidence.
