Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kulwant Singh and his family under Section 304B and Section 498A IPC for dowry death and cruelty. The Court found sufficient evidence of harassment related to dowry demands leading to the suspicious death of Rachhpal Kaur. The presence of aluminium phosphide in her body was deemed sufficient to establish the cause of death, affirming the lower court's decision.
