Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of three accused under Section 304B IPC for dowry death, confirming the High Court's decision while acquitting the fourth accused, Kaushalya Rani. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including testimonies from family members and the presumption under Section 113B of the Evidence Act, established a clear case of cruelty leading to the victim's death. The appeal for acquittal by the convicted accused was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings.
