Case History
Case Summary: Waseem & Ors. v. State of M.P., Crl.A. No. 992/2001 The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of three appellants convicted of murdering Shyam on May 12, 1993, by setting him on fire. The trial court and High Court (which acquitted co-accused Sahid) had found the appellants guilty under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC based primarily on the victim's dying declaration. The Court upheld the lower courts' findings, rejecting the appellants' arguments that the dying declaration was unreliable due to prior coaching and delay, and discredited prosecution witnesses PW 19 and PW 21 who contradicted their earlier statements. The Court affirmed the life sentence imposed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
