State Of H.P. vs Vinod Kumar on 7 June, 1994
In Dalbir Singh v. State of Punjab, (AIR 1987 SC 1328), the dying declaration was, of course, recorded by Sub-Inspector Jagar Nath, however, the question whether the Police Officer could record it or not, was not in consideration. The dying declaration was assailed on the grounds that it did not contain precise description of all the instruments of offence and also precise description of the manner in which the injuries were inflicted.
