Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 304B IPC, affirming that the prosecution established the essential ingredients of dowry death, including the presence of ante-mortem injuries and the circumstances surrounding the death. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof shifted to the husband after the death of the wife under suspicious circumstances, as per the principles laid down in earlier judgments. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's decision and the Sessions Court's conviction.
