‘Won’t meet maker with a lie’: Bombay High Court upholds man’s life term for killing wife
The Bombay High Court has maintained a 52-year-old man’s life sentence for murdering his wife in 2016, relying on her consistent oral dying declarations and the principle that "a man will not meet his maker with a lie in his mouth." The court heard an appeal by the man, who was convicted under Section 302 of the IPC for murder, fined Rs 50,000 and ordered to pay Rs 40,000 to his sons.
Witnesses, including his son who was attending Class 2 and allegedly witnessed the incident, identified the husband as the person who stabbed his mother and the knife used in the attack. The court found that the prosecution had successfully established its case beyond reasonable doubt, and no evidence suggested that the wife had been coached.
