Surinder Kaur & Anr vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court held that for a conviction under Section 304B IPC, specific allegations of harassment must be established against the accused, particularly that such harassment occurred soon before the victim's death. In this case, the Court found that the allegations against the appellants, who were minors at the time, were vague and lacked sufficient evidence to support a conviction. Consequently, the Court acquitted the appellants, Rajwinder Kaur and Surinder Kaur, while upholding the conviction of the husband, Surinder Kumar, whose appeal was not filed.
