KISHAN SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 304B and 315 IPC, affirming that the prosecution established the necessary ingredients for dowry death, including the demand for dowry and the subsequent death of the victim shortly thereafter. The Court emphasized that the presence of pregnancy at the time of death further substantiated the gravity of the offense. The sentences of rigorous imprisonment for seven years and three years for the respective offenses were confirmed, along with the imposition of fines.
