There have main three grounds on which dying declaration is admitted. These are given below:-
1. Death of declarant: The declarant of the dying declaration must be death.
If he alive then it will not be dying declaration.
2. Necessity: Second ground is that the dying declaration is necessary to identify
offenders. Where victim is the only eye-witness to the crime, the exclusion of
his statement would tend to defeat the ends of justice.
3. The sense of impending death: which creates a sanction equal to the obligation of an
oath. Dying declaration admits on the grounds of the sense of impending death,
because in this situation a person tries to speak truth and not tries to speak
false. That’s why it is said that “truth sits upon the lips of dying men”.
