KESHAB CHANDRA PRADHAN vs BAINA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 304B IPC for dowry death, establishing that the prosecution must prove the death of the woman occurred within seven years of marriage and was caused by burns or bodily injury, along with harassment related to dowry demands. The Court found that the evidence presented met the necessary legal standards, rejecting the defense's argument that no specific dowry demand was made. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling against the appellant, Devi Lal.
