Vidhya Devi & Anr vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304B IPC for dowry death, affirming the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision. The Court established that the prosecution must prove the elements of dowry death, including harassment for dowry and the death occurring within seven years of marriage. The Court found sufficient evidence of the deceased being subjected to cruelty and torture for dowry demands, leading to her eventual death by burning, thus confirming the sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment and a fine.
