K Ramachandra Reddy & Anr vs The Public Prosecutor on 5 May, 1976
(iii) The court has to scrutinise the dying declaration carefully
and must ensure that the declaration is not the result of tutoring,
prompting or imagination. The deceased had an opportunity to
observe and identify the assailants and was in a fit state to
make the declaration. (See K. Ramachandra Reddy v. Public
Prosecutor [(1976) 3 SCC 618 : 1976 SCC (Cri) 473 : AIR 1976
SC 1994] .)
