Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gurdeep Singh under Section 304B and Section 498A IPC for the dowry death of his wife, Rajinder Kaur, emphasizing that the prosecution established the necessary ingredients of dowry death, including the demand for dowry and the circumstances surrounding her death. The Court noted that the trial court's findings were supported by evidence of continuous harassment and the administration of poison leading to her death. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the ten-year rigorous imprisonment sentence.
