Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal challenging the conviction of the appellants under Sections 498A and 302 of the IPC. The court upheld the findings of the Trial Court and High Court, relying on the dying declaration made by the deceased to her parents. It ruled that the evidence of the parents was reliable and the defense's suggestion of suicide to threaten the accused was not substantiated.
