Evidentiary Value of Dying Declaration: A Case Study

Dying declaration is a weaker type of evidence based on the belief of humanity that a dying man does not lie before meeting his creator. In this paper researchers explore the admissibility of the dying declaration in the court of law the conditions attached to its acceptance and describe different cases where it has been the base of causing conviction and also the cases where it has been nullified. This is a qualitative analysis discussing the traditional approaches of the court until now and the future prospects. It is concluded that the court needs to be vigilant of the possibility of lie and must scrutinize the dying declaration under the circumstances of the given case.
