Doryodhan And Anr. vs State Of Maharashtra on 14 August, 2002
The Apex Court also with regard to the statement made before
the police and recorded by the police, taken note of in the
judgment of DORYODHAN v. STATE OF MAHARASHTRA
reported in 2003 (1) JIC 184, wherein it is stated that dying
declaration recorded by police in presence of other prosecution
witnesses is valid. Such dying declaration is reliable and cannot
be doubted on the ground that statement not produced to police,
but produced before the Court directly for the first time. But it is
very clear that dying declaration recorded by police in the
presence of other prosecution witnesses is valid. In the case on
hand, the same was recorded in the presence of doctor, who
certifies the capability to make such statement in respect of both
dying declarations.
