Atbir vs Govt. Of N.C.T Of Delhi on 9 August, 2010
1) when it relates to cause of death. —When the statement is made
by a person as to the cause of his death, or as to any of the
circumstances of the transaction which resulted in his death, in
cases in which the cause of that person's death comes into
question. Such statements are relevant whether the person who
made them was or was not, at the time when they were made, under
expectation of death, and whatever may be the nature of the
proceeding in which the cause of his death comes into question.”
On bare perusal of Section 32(1) of the Evidence Act, it is clear
that the statement as to death must be made by the person himself and
if any discrepancy arises, the same cannot be relied upon. This Court
in Atbir v. Government of NCT of Delhi [1] has summarized the
principles laid down earlier, as under:
Section 340 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 [Entire Act]
The Indian Penal Code, 1860
Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 [Entire Act]
