Dying Declaration
CHAPTER 1
RESEARCH SCHEME
Introduction:
A dying declaration is a statement made by a dying person as to the cause of his death or as to any circumstances of the transaction that resulted in his
death. It is evidence under Section 32 (1) of Indian Evidence Act,1872. This section is an exception to the general rule that hearsay evidence is no
evidence
In this paper, the researcher will explore these facets namely – the scope and application of section 32 (1), the method of giving and recording a dying
declaration and its evidenciary value by examining its interpretation by courts.
Material examined:
The researcher has used the bare act of the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, and thereby used the various commentaries by eminent jurists and legal...show

1.1 Section 32 (1) of Indian Evidence Act.
Sub–section (1) of Section 32 of the Evidence Act, any statement, written or verbal, of relevant facts made by a person who is dead, or who cannot be
found, or who has become incapable of giving evidence, or whose attendance cannot be procured without an amount of delay or expense which, under
the circumstances of the case, appears to the Court unreasonable, would constitute relevant facts. If as a result thereof, the Court is satisfied that the
statement made by a person who is now dead is relevant, the same becomes admissible in terms of sub–section (1) of 32 section of the Evidence Act.
The second Para of the sub section makes it abundantly clear that the statement is admissible in civil as well as criminal proceedings and it is not
necessary that the Person making the statement should be apprehending death at the time of making the statement. Thus, it is apt to say that
admissibility of Dying declaration is explained in the section 32 (1) of Indian Evidence Act.
The Hon'ble Apex Court in P.Mani vs. State of T.N. reported in has held as follows:
"Indisputably conviction can be recorded on the basis of the dying declaration alone but therefore the same must be wholly reliable. In a case where
suspicion can be raised as regards the correctness of the dying declaration, the

The Declaration of Independence was written for the purpose of separating the American colonies from the British Empire. In context of history, The
Declaration was the first step into a modern representative democracy. In addition, the makers of the declaration, primarily Thomas Jefferson,
constructed an argument to state the problems they had with Britain and tell how the new American government was going to deal with the problems.
The argument Jefferson constructed was one made with all the wrong evidence; however, he built the argument in such a way to rally a people for
war. The Declaration of Independence is a well–written example of argument and persuasion with its use of structure as a whole, use of specific
fallacies, and use of appeals.
Foremost, when looking at the Declaration there needs to be an understanding of who the audience is. The most prominent person who would be
reading this document would be the king himself, King George III. When looking at the Declaration, King George would primarily be looking at the
argument Jefferson put forth. He also would be looking at the attacks and accusations being set against him. The purpose of the Declaration, with the
King for an audience, is to separate all legal and moral ties. In the newly formed American government, Congress would be looking at what they were
setting themselves up for and placing forth the foundation of their government. Congress's purpose for writing the Declaration was to start a

On July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed by the founding fathers, thus implementing the foundation of the American government.

The Declaration of Sentiments was more inclusive and stated "that all men and women are created equal" (Doc A). In more recent years, the struggle
minority groups face for equality has decreased significantly. According to Diana Pham, an immigrant from Vietnam, "America has given our family
the chance to become whatever we choose to become" (Doc B).
The founders of the United States envisioned a government which was controlled by the consent of the governed. The United States of America was
the first modern nation to be established under the notion that the citizens have preeminent jurisdiction. Through elections, the people of the United
States have the ability to chose a desired politician to be in power in all governmental positions. This political principle strongly represents a
democracy as it " is the idea that government exists to secure the rights of the people and must be based on the consent of the governed" (Doc F).
After declaring independence from the tyranny of Great Britain, the forefathers wanted to ensure that, in the event of a corrupt or abusive government,
the people had the right to alter or abolish it. Throughout history, this concept has been sought after in many different countries by individuals of all
political ranking. In 1989, thousands of university students gathered in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China protesting for

Our Declaration, By Danielle Allen
In Danielle Allen's essay, Our Declaration, she argues that all people should understand and recognize that the Declaration gives all people in the
United States the undeniable freedom to self–govern. One person has the power to change the government; although this is not specifically stated, the
freedom to self–govern implies every voice matters. She guides the reader to this idea by using simple and easy to follow examples to show the
reader that they have the power to invoke a change the government. Allen also uses credible sources in order to give her reasoning credibility as well as
using arguments that elicit an emotional connection.

All of the support needed to be convinced by an argument is understood in the proposition without having to be explained. Nevertheless, if several of
these true propositions are strung together, it can lead to a more refined but true conclusion. This method is called syllogism.
Allen uses two different techniques in order to support her argument that self–evidence is the same as a syllogism. Aristotle was the one to originally
come up with the idea of "stringing together valid premises to yield a self–evident conclusion" or a syllogism. She introduces that he came up with this
method of a syllogism because he gives Allen's argument credibility due to the fact that Aristotle is a well–known Greek philosopher. Allen then goes
on to show how coming to a conclusion can be similar to following a procedure using the Bill Gates is moral example.
Unlike with the catholic church evoking feelings of undeniable truths, a syllogism uses common sense and rationale. Religion is a tricky thing,
especially in today's society, but not many people can deny basic logic and reasoning. She uses a very simple example to demonstrate the denotation
of a syllogism. "First Premise: Bill Gates is a human being. Second Premise: All human beings are moral. Conclusion: Bill Gates is moral." This type
of reasoning is commonly used because it is easy to follow and understand. The conclusion that Bill Gates is moral is come to

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE (1776) Thomas Jefferson Context The Declaration of Independence, completed and signed in July of
1776, marked the official separation between the 13 colonies and Great Britain. An armed struggle between the colonies and Britain had begun just
over a year before, with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The formal declaration of independence established the new American revolutionary
government and officially declared war against Great Britain. The primary purpose of the declaration was to assist the Second Continental Congress in
obtaining aid from foreign countries. The document also clearly outlines the history of abuses the colonists had suffered under British rule since the

Richard Henry Lee of Virginia proposed a resolution for independence in June of 1776. The Congress appointed a committee to draft a declaration of
independence that consisted of John Adams (MA), Benjamin Franklin (PA), Thomas Jefferson (VA), Robert Livingston (NY) and Roger Sherman
(CT). The job of drafting the Declaration of Independence fell to the youngest member of the committee, Thomas Jefferson. In composing the
declaration, Jefferson drew on ideas from the Enlightenment, especially those of John Locke. Not only did the declaration represent a milestone in the
history of the United States, it also turned the political philosophies of 18th century Europe into real political practice. Key Historical Figures Colonies
– The 13 colonies of British North America included New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. A representative from each colony was sent to the Second Continental
Congress in May of 1775 to debate the topic of independence. Although initial disagreement seemed to stall the drive towards independence, by July
2nd, 1776 all 13 colonies committed to fighting in the war for independence. Thomas Jefferson – A plantation owner and a lawyer,

The Relevance of the Declaration of Independence in the Present Day
The importance of The Declaration of Independence remains to be as worthy in the present day as the formal statement was in 1776, when composed
by Thomas Jefferson. The principle behind Jefferson's pronouncements was to express, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," (Declaration of Independence; par. 2). To
this day, these principles are the guidelines America follows to support our government, the people's rights and the economy. Through the present day,
the Declaration remains to set the parameters of our government's laws and the importance of the people's roles within the government. The preamble
of the Declaration supports the principles of the government, stating, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed," (Declaration of Independence; Preamble) declaring the American government would not function
without the involvement of the people and their voices. The government...show more content...

Conclusion Of The Declaration Of Independence
The Declaration of Independence was created in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson and the Continental Congress. This document is a founding document of the
United States because it created the foundation for the United States' government, established independence for the nation, granted equal rights for all
citizens, and gave the nation the ability to sell and trade independently. As a founding father of the United States,Thomas jefferson was highly qualified
to write the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was elected by the thirteen colonies to draft the document because of his intelligence,
experience fighting in the Revolutionary War, status as the founder of the University of Virginia, and role as the third President of the United States.
Jefferson also studied at the College of William and Mary in the practice of law. Although most believe Jefferson was the only person involved in
writing the Declaration, he actually had a team to help him, called the Continental Congress. This team consisted of Benjamin Franklin from
Pennsylvania, John Adams from Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, and Robert Livingston of New York. Jefferson stated "unanimously
pressed on myself alone to undertake the draught [sic]. I consented; I drew it; but before I reported it to the committee I communicated it separately to
Dr. Franklin and Mr. Adams requesting their corrections. . . I then wrote a fair copy, reported it to the committee, and from them, unaltered to the
Congress."

Declaration Of Sentiments Argument
The Declaration of Sentiments was an extremely influential document because it demanded civil liberties for women in the first women's rights
convention. This is important as it shows women were no longer afraid from challenging current social barriers. In the first paragraph, Stanton
makes it very clear how fiercely she's advocating for these rights. She argues that rights should be given because all people were created equal. God,
as she puts it, did not give one individual the power to rule over others, regardless of different characteristics (e.g. gender and race). By using "God" in
this context, it shows Stanton as a religious person; therefore, someone who believes in a higher power than government and men. However, it was

Thesis Of The Declaration Of Independence
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence for the American colonists to proclaim freedom from Great Britain's dictator, King George
III. American colonists had been suffering for many years when this important document was drafted. King George III had pushed the colonists into a
state of tyranny and most decided it was time to start an independent nation under a different type of government. Jefferson focused his piece toward
many audiences. He wanted not only King George III and the British Parliament to know the American's feelings, but also the entire world. The time
had come for an huge change amongst the American colonists and Jefferson made sure everyone was aware of it by using his superior strategies of
persuasion.

Instead of quoting the entire paragraph I am going to break it down into the parts that express the point most visibly. Jefferson states, "When in the
course of human events, it becomes necessary for people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another". Here he is
explaining that there is a need for separation between Great Britain and the American territory. He then says, "A decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation". Here he gives the reason for the division; in the opinions of
mankind, life has become unbearable. The point of this historical piece is simply to announce independence for the Americans from the British for

The Declarations of sentiments was arguably the most significant document in
history for the advancement of women in the nineteenth century America. It was made
famous at the first Woman's Rights Convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York, in July
of 1848. Drafted by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the declaration outlined a series of
grievances resulting from the unfair treatment of women and proposed eleven resolutions
arguing that women had the right to equality in all aspects of their lives, including the
right to vote. Despite the declarations significance, however, it would be seventy–two

protested unequal employment opportunities. Stanton read the declaration paragraph by
paragraph, and over the two–days of discussion, the Declaration of Sentiments and 12
resolutions received agreement endorsement, one by one, with a few amendments.
The only resolution that did not pass unanimously was the call for women's
authorization.
The Seneca Falls convention generated widespread ridicule and even hostility,
primarily from religious leaders and the press. An article in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger and Daily Transcript (September 1848) opined that, unlike the Seneca Falls
women, the women of Philadelphia were "celebrated for discretion, modesty, and
unfeigned diffidence" rather than "standing out for woman's rights." After all, the writer
reasoned, "A woman is nobody. A wife is everything. A pretty girl is equal to ten
thousand men, and a mother is, next to God, all powerful......The ladies of Philadelphia,

therefore.....are resolved to maintain their rights as wives, belles, virgins, and mothers,
and not as women" (Stanton, Anthony, and Gage, p. 804).

This principle alone has inspired millions to come to America in hope of a better future for themselves and their descendents. From the Irish peasants
fleeing starvation in the 17th century, to modern–day Hispanics seeking employment, people have always looked to America as a land in which to
prosper. Next, people have been drawn to America for the unique political and governmental system. Tyranny, oppression, and dictatorships in
countries all across the globe made America seem like a glowing beacon of safety. The idea of a representative government, in which the individual
saw that their voice could be both heard and protected, was astounding to some. Our founding fathers created a government that would serve the
people and guard both their rights and freedoms. For example, the freedoms of speech and assembly lured Russians from the communist Soviet
Union in the past. In modern times, Cubans have fled the oppression of their dictator, Fidel Castro. Lastly, the American dream could not be complete
without the principle of religious freedom. This was the sole reason the Pilgrims first came to the Americas; they were escaping persecution in their
native country. "For men came across the sea not merely to find new soil for their plows but to win freedom for their souls, to think and speak and

Over the next couple of years there was an anti–Zionist movement halted any advancement of the declaration. This anti–Zionist was a result of fear that

In 1776, since Jefferson was a member of Continental Congress, he was chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence, since he was a member of

Jefferson predicted the coming of great changes in America within the times that he lived in. He wrote this document for the American Citizens at the

However it should be mentioned that in that time concepts of sovereignty, of individual were related to classical and mediaeval thought, the rights of
the individual were not a topic and the citizen did not rule but was ruled. Furthermore, there is no minimizing on Jefferson's views on Negro limits
such as his proclamation that blacks lack beauty, intelligence, and most skills except music. So his concept of these human topics was completely
different from the concept that we generally share today especially in civilized societies. Nevertheless he should not be blamed because that was
probably the best that could have been driven from philosophical points of view in that time. The Declaration of independence contains the exact
proof of the attitude of its creators i.e. Thomas Jefferson speaking in the name of the members of the congress who had chosen him to be their voice.
They probably had the same conceptual viewing of the previously mentioned issues. His exact words "...We hold these truths to be self–evident..."

Dying Declaration

  • 1. Dying Declaration CHAPTER 1 RESEARCH SCHEME Introduction: A dying declaration is a statement made by a dying person as to the cause of his death or as to any circumstances of the transaction that resulted in his death. It is evidence under Section 32 (1) of Indian Evidence Act,1872. This section is an exception to the general rule that hearsay evidence is no evidence In this paper, the researcher will explore these facets namely – the scope and application of section 32 (1), the method of giving and recording a dying declaration and its evidenciary value by examining its interpretation by courts. Material examined: The researcher has used the bare act of the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, and thereby used the various commentaries by eminent jurists and legal...show more content... 1.1 Section 32 (1) of Indian Evidence Act. Sub–section (1) of Section 32 of the Evidence Act, any statement, written or verbal, of relevant facts made by a person who is dead, or who cannot be found, or who has become incapable of giving evidence, or whose attendance cannot be procured without an amount of delay or expense which, under the circumstances of the case, appears to the Court unreasonable, would constitute relevant facts. If as a result thereof, the Court is satisfied that the statement made by a person who is now dead is relevant, the same becomes admissible in terms of sub–section (1) of 32 section of the Evidence Act. The second Para of the sub section makes it abundantly clear that the statement is admissible in civil as well as criminal proceedings and it is not necessary that the Person making the statement should be apprehending death at the time of making the statement. Thus, it is apt to say that admissibility of Dying declaration is explained in the section 32 (1) of Indian Evidence Act. The Hon'ble Apex Court in P.Mani vs. State of T.N. reported in has held as follows: "Indisputably conviction can be recorded on the basis of the dying declaration alone but therefore the same must be wholly reliable. In a case where suspicion can be raised as regards the correctness of the dying declaration, the

  • 4. The Declaration of Independence was written for the purpose of separating the American colonies from the British Empire. In context of history, The Declaration was the first step into a modern representative democracy. In addition, the makers of the declaration, primarily Thomas Jefferson, constructed an argument to state the problems they had with Britain and tell how the new American government was going to deal with the problems. The argument Jefferson constructed was one made with all the wrong evidence; however, he built the argument in such a way to rally a people for war. The Declaration of Independence is a well–written example of argument and persuasion with its use of structure as a whole, use of specific fallacies, and use of appeals. Foremost, when looking at the Declaration there needs to be an understanding of who the audience is. The most prominent person who would be reading this document would be the king himself, King George III. When looking at the Declaration, King George would primarily be looking at the argument Jefferson put forth. He also would be looking at the attacks and accusations being set against him. The purpose of the Declaration, with the King for an audience, is to separate all legal and moral ties. In the newly formed American government, Congress would be looking at what they were setting themselves up for and placing forth the foundation of their government.

The Declaration signifies the rebellion against the British Parliament and the unification of the colonies in the fight for equality, liberty, and justice.

The Declaration of Sentiments was more inclusive and stated "that all men and women are created equal" (Doc A). In more recent years, the struggle minority groups face for equality has decreased significantly. According to Diana Pham, an immigrant from Vietnam, "America has given our family the chance to become whatever we choose to become" (Doc B). The founders of the United States envisioned a government which was controlled by the consent of the governed. The United States of America was the first modern nation to be established under the notion that the citizens have preeminent jurisdiction. Through elections, the people of the United States have the ability to chose a desired politician to be in power in all governmental positions. This political principle strongly represents a democracy as it " is the idea that government exists to secure the rights of the people and must be based on the consent of the governed" (Doc F). After declaring independence from the tyranny of Great Britain, the forefathers wanted to ensure that, in the event of a corrupt or abusive government, the people had the right to alter or abolish it. Throughout history, this concept has been sought after in many different countries by individuals of all political ranking.

  • 6. Our Declaration, By Danielle Allen In Danielle Allen's essay, Our Declaration, she argues that all people should understand and recognize that the Declaration gives all people in the United States the undeniable freedom to self–govern. One person has the power to change the government; although this is not specifically stated, the freedom to self–govern implies every voice matters. She guides the reader to this idea by using simple and easy to follow examples to show the reader that they have the power to invoke a change the government. Allen also uses credible sources in order to give her reasoning credibility as well as using arguments that elicit an emotional connection.

All of the support needed to be convinced by an argument is understood in the proposition without having to be explained. Nevertheless, if several of these true propositions are strung together, it can lead to a more refined but true conclusion. This method is called syllogism. Allen uses two different techniques in order to support her argument that self–evidence is the same as a syllogism. Aristotle was the one to originally come up with the idea of "stringing together valid premises to yield a self–evident conclusion" or a syllogism. She introduces that he came up with this method of a syllogism because he gives Allen's argument credibility due to the fact that Aristotle is a well–known Greek philosopher. Allen then goes on to show how coming to a conclusion can be similar to following a procedure using the Bill Gates is moral example. Unlike with the catholic church evoking feelings of undeniable truths, a syllogism uses common sense and rationale. Religion is a tricky thing, especially in today's society, but not many people can deny basic logic and reasoning. She uses a very simple example to demonstrate the denotation of a syllogism. "First Premise: Bill Gates is a human being. Second Premise: All human beings are moral. Conclusion: Bill Gates is moral." This type of reasoning is commonly used because it is easy to follow and understand. The conclusion that Bill Gates is moral is come to Get more content on HelpWriting.net

An armed struggle between the colonies and Britain had begun just over a year before, with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The formal declaration of independence established the new American revolutionary government and officially declared war against Great Britain.

Richard Henry Lee of Virginia proposed a resolution for independence in June of 1776. The Congress appointed a committee to draft a declaration of independence that consisted of John Adams (MA), Benjamin Franklin (PA), Thomas Jefferson (VA), Robert Livingston (NY) and Roger Sherman (CT). The job of drafting the Declaration of Independence fell to the youngest member of the committee, Thomas Jefferson. In composing the declaration, Jefferson drew on ideas from the Enlightenment, especially those of John Locke. Not only did the declaration represent a milestone in the history of the United States, it also turned the political philosophies of 18th century Europe into real political practice. Key Historical Figures Colonies – The 13 colonies of British North America included New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. A representative from each colony was sent to the Second Continental Congress in May of 1775 to debate the topic of independence.

Essay On Declaration Of Independence The Relevance of the Declaration of Independence in the Present Day The importance of The Declaration of Independence remains to be as worthy in the present day as the formal statement was in 1776, when composed by Thomas Jefferson. The principle behind Jefferson's pronouncements was to express, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," (Declaration of Independence; par. 2). To this day, these principles are the guidelines America follows to support our government, the people's rights and the economy. Through the present day, the Declaration remains to set the parameters of our government's laws and the importance of the people's roles within the government. The preamble of the Declaration supports the principles of the government, stating, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," (Declaration of Independence; Preamble) declaring the American government would not function without the involvement of the people and their voices.

  • 10. Conclusion Of The Declaration Of Independence The Declaration of Independence was created in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson and the Continental Congress. This document is a founding document of the United States because it created the foundation for the United States' government, established independence for the nation, granted equal rights for all citizens, and gave the nation the ability to sell and trade independently. As a founding father of the United States,Thomas jefferson was highly qualified to write the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was elected by the thirteen colonies to draft the document because of his intelligence, experience fighting in the Revolutionary War, status as the founder of the University of Virginia, and role as the third President of the United States. Jefferson also studied at the College of William and Mary in the practice of law. Although most believe Jefferson was the only person involved in writing the Declaration, he actually had a team to help him, called the Continental Congress. This team consisted of Benjamin Franklin from Pennsylvania, John Adams from Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, and Robert Livingston of New York. Jefferson stated "unanimously pressed on myself alone to undertake the draught [sic]. I consented; I drew it; but before I reported it to the committee I communicated it separately to Dr. Franklin and Mr. Adams requesting their corrections. . . I then wrote a fair copy, reported it to the committee, and from them, unaltered to the Congress." Get more content on HelpWriting.net

This is important as it shows women were no longer afraid from challenging current social barriers. In the first paragraph, Stanton makes it very clear how fiercely she's advocating for these rights. She argues that rights should be given because all people were created equal. God, as she puts it, did not give one individual the power to rule over others, regardless of different characteristics (e.g. gender and race). By using "God" in this context, it shows Stanton as a religious person; therefore, someone who believes in a higher power than government and men.

He then says, "A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation".

The Seneca Falls convention generated widespread ridicule and even hostility, primarily from religious leaders and the press. An article in the Philadelphia Public Ledger and Daily Transcript (September 1848) opined that, unlike the Seneca Falls women, the women of Philadelphia were "celebrated for discretion, modesty, and unfeigned diffidence" rather than "standing out for woman's rights." After all, the writer reasoned, "A woman is nobody. A wife is everything. A pretty girl is equal to ten thousand men, and a mother is, next to God, all powerful......The ladies of Philadelphia, 3 Metz therefore.....are resolved to maintain their rights as wives, belles, virgins, and mothers, and not as women" (Stanton, Anthony, and Gage, p. 804).

Next, people have been drawn to America for the unique political and governmental system. Tyranny, oppression, and dictatorships in countries all across the globe made America seem like a glowing beacon of safety. The idea of a representative government, in which the individual saw that their voice could be both heard and protected, was astounding to some. Our founding fathers created a government that would serve the people and guard both their rights and freedoms. For example, the freedoms of speech and assembly lured Russians from the communist Soviet Union in the past. In modern times, Cubans have fled the oppression of their dictator, Fidel Castro.

However it should be mentioned that in that time concepts of sovereignty, of individual were related to classical and mediaeval thought, the rights of the individual were not a topic and the citizen did not rule but was ruled. Furthermore, there is no minimizing on Jefferson's views on Negro limits such as his proclamation that blacks lack beauty, intelligence, and most skills except music.
