Shakuntalabai Wd/O Khairuprasad Joshi vs * The State Of Maharashtra on 6 January, 2011
What is relevant to note is that
there is no correction made herein to suit convenience of
prosecution. Pertinently, Medical Officer was present
through out recording of statement and he had
ascertained condition of deceased during entire period. In
such facts, no doubt could be created by defence in
correct recording of statement of deceased. Hence,
accused cannot derive any benefit from judgment in case
of Shakuntalabai wd/o. Khairuprasad Joshi & Anr.
Vs. The State of Maharashtra (cited supra), as in that
case dying declaration was discarded for want of
certification by doctor or at least his signature on
statement.
