Case Note / Description :

In the result, we are of the opinion that for  proving   a   dying   declaration recorded   by  a person/Magistrate/Executive   Magistrate   it   is   not essential   requirement   of   law   that   the   recorder should   repeat,   while   deposing   before   the   Court, the   contents   of   the   declaration   in   the   words spoken   by   the   deceased   as   to   the   cause   of   his death   or   as   to   any   of   the   circumstances   of   the transaction   which   resulted   in   his   death. In other words, the recorder of a dying declaration need   not   depose   before   the   Court,   in   the   words spoken   by   the   deceased,   about   the name/description,   and   the   act   of   the   accused, which   resulted   in   his   death.     Accordingly,  the question referred to this Full Bench is answered in negative
