Judgment text excerpt
The trial court convicted A-1 and A-2 under Section 304B IPC for the dowry death of Kanta, who died within three months of marriage under suspicious circumstances. The court established that Kanta was subjected to cruelty and harassment related to a demand for a motorcycle, which was not fulfilled by her father. The High Court upheld the trial court's decision, affirming the conviction and the seven-year rigorous imprisonment sentence for both accused.
