Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the husband under Sections 304B and 498A IPC, emphasizing that the deceased's suicide note indicated no one was responsible for her death, including her in-laws and parents. The Court noted the lack of credible evidence regarding cruelty, as the father of the deceased failed to provide a statement under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Consequently, the concurrent findings of the trial court and High Court were affirmed, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
