Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 306 and 498A IPC for abetting the suicide of Shanti Bai and subjecting her to cruelty. The Court found that the dying declaration, which exculpated the accused, was not credible given the evidence of 90% ante mortem burns. The Court affirmed the trial court's decision, emphasizing that the evidence presented established the guilt of the appellants beyond reasonable doubt, and dismissed the appeal against their conviction and sentence.
