SURINDER KUMAR vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Surinder Kumar under Section 304-B and Section 498-A IPC, affirming that the dying declaration of Kiran Bala, who stated that her husband drove her to suicide, was credible and admissible. The Court found that the concurrent findings of the Trial Court and the High Court were justified, as the evidence supported the claim that the appellant's actions led to Kiran Bala's suicide. The Court emphasized the importance of the dying declaration in establishing the mental state of the deceased at the time of the incident.
