Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kulwant Singh, Gurtehal Singh, and Harminder Kaur under Section 304-B and Section 498-A IPC for the dowry-related death of Rachhpal Kaur. The Court found sufficient evidence of harassment and maltreatment for dowry demands, leading to her death under suspicious circumstances. The presence of aluminium phosphide in her body was deemed sufficient to establish the cause of death, affirming the lower court's ruling.
