Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Amit Kumar and another under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Anita Rani, confirming the findings of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The court noted the history of harassment and torture faced by the deceased due to dowry demands, which ultimately led to her tragic death. The acquittal of Neelam Rani was also acknowledged, as she was given the benefit of doubt in the case.
