Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the trial Court was justified in framing charges under Sections 498A and 304B IPC, but not under Section 302 IPC, as there was insufficient evidence to support a charge of murder. The Court emphasized the need for trial Courts to add Section 302 to charges under Section 304B IPC in cases involving heinous crimes against women, as per its earlier directive in Rajbir @ Raju v. State of Haryana. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to uphold the trial Court's order regarding the charges framed.
