Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the first appellant under Sections 304-B and 201 IPC for the dowry death of Shinder Kaur, affirming that her death by burns occurred within seven years of marriage and was preceded by cruelty related to dowry demands. The Court found sufficient evidence of harassment by the husband, which justified the conviction under Section 304-B IPC. The second appellant's conviction under Section 201 IPC was also confirmed, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
