Dying declaration Admissibility

Dying declaration was most strong piece of evidence; in certain circumstances it did not require any corroboration; and could be considered for recording conviction

Statement made by a person who was dying at the time he made it, was a dying declaration, and was admissible piece of evidence

Last words of a dying person enjoyed the presumption of truth

No specific mode for recording a dying declaration had been prescribed

Size of such declaration whether small or lengthy was of no importance; as the only requirement was that it must indicate the cause; and the circumstances which resulted in the death of the declarant

Authenticity and credibility of a dying declaration could only be judged after recording evidence in the case, because the question of concoction or fabrication, if raised by the defence, could only be resolved by considering the peculiar circumstances of the each case appearing in the evidence.
