Chakravarthi delivered the judgement while hearing a criminal appeal and observed that when multiple dying declarations are completely inconsistent with each other, courts must carefully examine the entire evidence before relying upon any one statement to convict an accused person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"background-of-the-case\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background_of_the_Case\"><\/span>Background of the Case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The case related to the death of a woman from the Kurnool district who suffered severe burn injuries on 12 January 2007 and later died during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the prosecution, the husband used to suspect the fidelity of his wife and regularly harassed her after consuming alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prosecution alleged that on the night of the incident, the husband abused and assaulted his wife and instigated her to commit suicide. It was further alleged that the woman poured kerosene on herself and the husband lit a matchstick and threw it on her, resulting in severe burn injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"charges-framed-against-the-husband\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charges_Framed_Against_The_Husband\"><\/span>Charges Framed Against The Husband<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Section 498-A IPC \u2013 Cruelty by husband or relatives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 302 IPC \u2013 Punishment for murder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 304 Part II IPC \u2013 Culpable homicide not amounting to murder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After the woman\u2019s death, the husband was charged under Sections 498-A and 302 IPC. However, the trial court acquitted him of offences under Sections 498-A and 302 IPC but convicted him under Section 304 Part II IPC and sentenced him to ten years&#8217; imprisonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The husband later challenged the conviction before the High Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"major-contradiction-first-statement-before-doctor\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Contradiction_First_Statement_Before_Doctor\"><\/span>Major Contradiction: First Statement Before Doctor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the hearing, the defence argued that the first statement made by the deceased before the doctor at the hospital was completely different from the later dying declarations relied upon by the prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court noted that the doctor had recorded in the hospital accident register that the woman stated she suffered burn injuries accidentally while sleeping in the hut at around 8:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The High Court found that this first statement was suppressed during the trial and surfaced only during the cross-examination of the doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"importance-of-the-first-version\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Importance_Of_The_First_Version\"><\/span>The Importance Of The First Version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The court observed that the first version given immediately after an incident generally carries greater evidentiary value because it is more natural, spontaneous, and less likely to be influenced by external factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the prosecution later relied upon two other dying declarations recorded by the police officer and the judicial magistrate in which the woman blamed her husband for the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"high-court-on-multiple-dying-declarations\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_Court_On_Multiple_Dying_Declarations\"><\/span>High Court On Multiple Dying Declarations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Andhra Pradesh High Court reiterated that when multiple dying declarations are contradictory and irreconcilable, courts cannot selectively rely upon one statement while ignoring another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIn the case of the third category of cases, there are more than one dying declaration, and inconsistencies between the declarations are absolute, and the dying declarations are irreconcilable, being repugnant to one another. The duty of the court is to examine the rest of the materials in the form of evidence placed before the court and still conclude that the incriminatory dying declaration is capable of being relied upon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court stressed that independent corroborative evidence becomes extremely important in cases involving conflicting dying declarations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

Accidental Fire Theory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The High Court also found that the testimony of the couple\u2019s young son supported the accidental fire theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the child witness, the hut accidentally caught fire while the family was sleeping, and the mother pushed the children outside to save them before suffering burn injuries herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court noted that the prosecution never cross-examined the child witness on this crucial aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The High Court further observed that doctors did not detect a kerosene smell on the body of the deceased, which weakened the prosecution\u2019s

complete evidence on record, the High Court held that the first statement made before the doctor appeared more natural and reliable than the later dying declarations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court criticised the trial court for ignoring important defence-friendly evidence and selectively relying upon only the incriminating dying declarations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, the Andhra Pradesh High Court set aside the conviction and acquitted the husband under Section 304 Part-II IPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
