Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Arun Garg under Section 304B IPC for dowry death, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed a ten-year rigorous imprisonment sentence and enhanced the fine to Rs. 2,00,000. The Court established that the prosecution successfully proved the elements of dowry death, including the demand for dowry and the circumstances leading to Seema's death within seven years of marriage. The Court emphasized the importance of protecting women from dowry-related violence under the IPC.
