STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs TEG BAHADUR

The Supreme Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's decision, which had acquitted the accused due to unreliable evidence. The Court emphasized that the prosecution must prove the elements of dowry death under Section 304B IPC, which includes the requirement of death occurring within seven years of marriage and evidence of harassment related to dowry demands. The Court held that the circumstantial evidence presented was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused under Sections 304B and 498A IPC, leading to their conviction.
