Tripura High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>A Division Bench of S. Talapatra and Arindam Lodh, JJ. dismissed an appeal filed against the decision of the Sessions Judge whereby the appellant was convicted and sentenced under Section 302 IPC for committing the murder of his wife.<\/p>\n

The appellant was alleged to have poured kerosene on his wife and put her ablaze. He was accordingly convicted by Sessions Judge. Senior Advocate P.K. Biswas assisted P. Majumdar, Advocate representing the appellant challenged the dying declaration made by the deceased wife. It was argued that the dying declaration was not taken in accordance with the established principles of law and thus could not form the basis of recording conviction against the appellant. Per contra, A. Roy Barma, Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State submitted that the objections relate to some technical defects which should be ignored.<\/p>\n

The High Court, on careful scrutiny of evidence, found that the signature or thumb impression of the victim could not be taken on the dying declaration as her hands were totally burnt. The Court put reliance on\u00a0Inder Singh v. State (UT of Delhi), <\/em>(1978) 4 SCC 161<\/a> and Pattu Rajan v. State of T.N. <\/em>(2019) 4 SCC 771<\/a>. It was stated: “There is no thumb rule that dying declaration must be certified by doctors. It can be said to be only a rule of prudence. In our considered view, if the person who records the dying declaration is convinced with the fitness of the victim at the time of recording the declaration in question, then, there is no reason to doubt the reliability or credibility of the dying declaration.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Court further observed: “Another important aspect to be borne in mind is that in our country, the Executive Magistrates or the Doctors are not adequately trained in such affairs. Keeping in mind the principle enunciated in\u00a0Pattu Rajan case <\/em>we are also of the considered view that the traditional dogmatic hyper-technical approach should be replaced by the realistic and traditional approach \u00a0for administering justice in a criminal trial.”\u00a0<\/strong>In such conspectus, it was held that there was no reason to interfere with the impugned judgment and the appeal was, therefore, dismissed.[Khokan Sarkar v. State of Tripura, 2019 SCC OnLine Tri 197<\/b><\/a>, decided on 25-04-2019]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
