Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Sections 304-B and 498A IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution must prove the dowry demand and its connection to the suicide of the deceased. The Court noted that the testimonies of the deceased's family were credible and corroborated the claims of harassment for dowry. The appeal by the accused was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings and sentences, which included rigorous imprisonment and fines for the accused.
