Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 304B IPC, affirming that the presumption under Section 113B of the Indian Evidence Act applies when the ingredients of dowry death are established. The Court found that the evidence presented did not sufficiently demonstrate the absence of demands for dowry or unnatural death, thus supporting the trial court's decision. The appeal by Gurdeep Singh was dismissed, affirming the ten-year rigorous imprisonment sentence.
