Purshottam Chopra vs State(Govt. Of Nct Of Delhi)

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Sher Singh, based primarily on his dying declarations made to medical personnel and police officers. The Court affirmed that such declarations, made when the victim was in a fit state to speak, are admissible as evidence and can form the basis of conviction. The judgment of the High Court was thus confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that dying declarations, if credible, can be sufficient for conviction in the absence of eyewitnesses.
