While hearing a dowry death case, the Allahabad High Court said that the prosecution cannot rely on a dying declaration unless an accused is confronted with its contents. The high court bench of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Dr Gautam Chowdhary observed while acquitting a husband and mother-in-law in connection with a dowry death case. The court stated that the contents of the dying declaration had not been put to the accused during the trial for recording their statements under Section 313 CrPC. The High Court also raised doubts about the veracity of the dying declaration while taking note of various circumstances which cast doubt on the same. The dying claimed that the victim was pregnant, but nothing was found regarding pregnancy in the medical evidence.
