Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304-B IPC for dowry death, affirming the trial court's finding that the appellant subjected his wife to cruelty and harassment in connection with dowry demands, leading to her suicide. The Court found sufficient evidence from the testimonies of the deceased's family and a medical expert to establish the necessary ingredients of the offence. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment was confirmed.
