In Ganpat Bakaramji Lad vs The State of Maharashtra, the question before the Supreme Court was “Whether a dying declaration can be rejected merely because the same is not read over to the declarant and the declarant admitting the same to have been correctly recorded?”
A full bench decided that a dying declaration cannot be rejected merely because the same is not read over to the declarant and the declarant admitting the same to have been correctly recorded. We
hold and clarify that this can be one of the factors, if it assumes significance in the facts and circumstances of any case.
