DEEN DAYAL vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court examined an appeal under Section 379 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 against a High Court judgment convicting the appellants under Sections 498-A and 304-B of the IPC for dowry death. The Court reiterated that in appeals against acquittal, the trial court's judgment should not be disturbed if it is one of two possible views. The Court found that the prosecution failed to prove essential ingredients of dowry death, thus upholding the trial court's acquittal and setting aside the High Court's conviction.
