Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Gorabai and others under Sections 302 and 147 of the IPC, based on the dying declarations of the deceased, Nandabai. The court emphasized the reliability of the oral dying declarations made by Nandabai to her family members immediately after the incident. The judgment reinforced the principle that dying declarations can be a crucial piece of evidence in establishing culpability in homicide cases.
