"21. For what has been noticed
hereinabove, some of the principles
relating to recording of dying declaration
and its admissibility and reliability could
be usefully summed up as under:-
(i) A dying declaration could be the sole
basis of conviction even without
corroboration, if it inspires confidence of
the Court.
(ii) The Court should be satisfied that the
declarant was in a fit state of mind at the
time of making the statement; and that
it was a voluntary statement, which was
not the result of tutoring, prompting or
imagination.
(iii) Where a dying declaration is
suspicious or is suffering from any
infirmity such as want of fit state of mind
of the declarant or of like nature, it
should not be acted upon without
corroborative evidence.
(Uploaded on 27/03/2026 at 03:18:25 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:14203-DB] (9 of 32) [CRLAD-57/2022]
(iv) When the eye-witnesses affirm that
the deceased was not in a fit and
conscious state to make the statement,
the medical opinion cannot prevail.
(v) The law does not provide as to who
could record dying declaration nor there
is any prescribed format or procedure for
the same but the person recording dying
declaration must be satisfied that the
maker is in a fit state of mind and is
capable of making the statement
(vi) Although presence of a Magistrate is
not absolutely necessary for recording of
a dying declaration but to ensure
authenticity and credibility, it is expected
that a Magistrate be requested to record
such dying declaration and/or attestation
be obtained from other persons present
at the time of recording the dying
declaration.
(vii) As regards a burns case, the
percentage and degree of burns would
not, by itself, be decisive of the
credibility of dying declaration; and the
decisive factor would be the quality of
evidence about the fit and conscious
state of the declarant to make the
statement.
(viii) If after careful scrutiny, the Court
finds the statement placed as dying
declaration to be voluntary and also finds
it coherent and consistent, there is no
legal impediment in recording conviction
on its basis even without corroboration."

known to them. Further, they are not related to
the victim nor they are interested witnesses.
17. Moreover on careful scrutiny, the Sessions
Court was fully satisfied that the evidence of PW-
6 Dr. Langkumer is true and there is no evidence
to the contrary that any effort was made by
anyone to induce the deceased to make the false
statement. Further absence of smell of kerosene
oil in the hair of the deceased sent for chemical
examination does not render the dying
declaration doubtful and unbelievable as held by
this Court in the case of State of Rajasthan v.

"2. Learned Senior Counsel Mr. Sirajudeen for the
appellant submits that there was no intention on
the part of the appellant to kill his wife. He further
submits that after pouring kerosene oil on his
wife, the appellant tried to extinguish the fire by
pouring a bucket of water over her and hence, the
case of the appellant would fall under Part I of
Section 304 and not under Section 302 IPC. He
also relied upon the dying declaration of the
deceased.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties
and on carefully perusing the material placed on
record, we find no merit in the submission made
by learned Senior Counsel for the appellant that
the case of the appellant would fall under Section
304 Part-I and not under Section 302 IPC, for the
simple reason that neither such a plea was taken
by the appellant in his defence during the course
of trial nor such a contention was raised by him at
the time of recording of his statement under
Section 313 Cr.P.C. In our considered opinion,
setting a person on fire is an act of extreme
cruelty and would fall under Section 302 IPC.
Hence, we find no illegality or infirmity in the

judgments and orders passed by the Sessions
Court or the High Court.
5. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed."
