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
