A dying declaration is an admission and comes under the exceptional circumstances under s.21. This exception enables a person to prove his own statement where the circumstances are such that he is on death bed and is making a statement as to the cause of his death. It is presumed that a person says the truth when he is about to die, as he is going to meet his maker “the God.”
