Sewa Singh vs The State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sewa Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, Section 201 IPC, and Section 498A IPC, confirming the High Court's findings that he was responsible for the death of his wife, Mandip Kaur, due to dowry-related harassment and subsequent strangulation. The Court noted the absence of credible evidence to support the defense's claim of alibi and emphasized the incriminating circumstances surrounding the recovery of the deceased's body. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
