STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs JAGGU RAM

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Sections 304-B and 201 IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution must establish the connection between dowry harassment and the death of the victim. The Court clarified that the presumption under Section 113B of the Evidence Act applies when a woman dies under suspicious circumstances within seven years of marriage, and the burden shifts to the accused to explain the circumstances of death. The appeal against the acquittal of Jaggu Ram was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings.
