Dying Declaration is a legal concept refers to the effect that the statement which is made by a dying person explaining the circumstances of his death. The word Dying Declaration itself tells the meaning.
A statement by a person who is conscious and knows that death is imminent concerning what he believes to be the cause or circumstances of his death. A dying declaration is considered credible and trustworthy evidence based upon the general belief that most people who know that their about to die “do not lie”. As a result, it is an exception to the general rule “hear say”, which prohibits the use of a statement made by some one other than the person who repeated it while testifying during trial.
The same will hold valud if the person of concous that he would die, the DD if dubious shall not be relied upon.
