Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the trial Court was justified in framing a charge under Section 302 IPC in addition to Sections 498A and 304B IPC, following its directive in Rajbir @ Raju & Anr. v. State of Haryana, which mandated the addition of Section 302 in cases involving Section 304B to address heinous crimes against women. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring appropriate charges are framed to reflect the severity of the crime, thereby allowing for the imposition of stringent penalties. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to uphold the trial Court's order.
