SURINDER KAUR vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Surinder Kumar under Section 304B IPC for the dowry death of Baljit Kaur, affirming the life sentence imposed by the lower courts. However, it acquitted the appellants Rajwinder Kaur and Surinder Kaur, noting that the prosecution failed to establish specific allegations of harassment against them, which is a requisite under Section 304B. The Court emphasized that general allegations without specific instances do not suffice for conviction under this provision.
