Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment which convicted the appellant under Section 304B IPC for dowry death, establishing that the prosecution proved the demand for dowry and harassment shortly before the deceased's death. The Court emphasized that the presumption under Section 113B of the Indian Evidence Act was applicable, as the appellant failed to rebut the evidence of dowry demands and cruelty. The Court affirmed the High Court's findings and dismissed the appeal, maintaining the conviction and sentence.
