Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC against Harbans Kaur and Kanchan for the murder of Kamlesh Rani, and under Section 302 read with Section 109 IPC against Sohan Lal for abetting the murder. The Court found that the evidence established that Kamlesh Rani was subjected to cruelty and ultimately murdered due to dowry demands. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' appeals was rejected, affirming the trial court's findings.
