Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the father of Rajeeva against the acquittal of respondents under Sections 306 and 498A IPC, affirming the findings of the trial court and High Court. The Court held that the evidence presented by the prosecution regarding dowry demand and cruelty was inconsistent and lacked credibility, particularly noting that no dowry was demanded at the time of marriage and that the allegations were improbable. The Court concluded that the reasons for acquittal were sound and did not warrant interference.
