Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kamlesh Rani, affirming the trial court's finding that Harbans Kaur and Kanchan were guilty of murder, while Sohan Lal was found guilty of abetting the crime under Section 109 IPC. The Court noted that the prosecution had not established the charge of dowry death under Section 304B IPC due to insufficient evidence regarding dowry demands. The appeal against the convictions was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment.
