RAJWINDER SINGH @ RAJA .

Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Rajwinder Singh under Section 498A IPC for cruelty against his wife, Paramjit Kaur, but acquitted the other two accused under Sections 304B and 306 IPC due to lack of evidence proving dowry harassment or abetment to suicide. The Court emphasized that the prosecution failed to establish the necessary ingredients of Sections 304B and 306 IPC, as there was no evidence of cruelty or violence prior to the death of the deceased. The judgment reaffirmed the importance of corroborative evidence in dowry death cases.
