Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of dowry death under Section 304B IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution must establish the connection between the death and the demand for dowry. The Court held that the circumstances surrounding the deceased's death, including prior harassment and demands for dowry, were sufficient to infer that the accused had caused her death. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 498A IPC for cruelty against the deceased.
