INDRAJIT SURESHPRASAD BIND vs STATE OF GUJARAT

The Supreme Court held that the conviction of the appellants under Sections 304B, 498A, and 306 IPC was not sustainable due to lack of corroborative evidence apart from a single letter (Ext. 49) allegedly written by the deceased, which raised doubts about its authenticity. The Court emphasized that mere allegations without substantial proof of cruelty or harassment do not suffice for conviction under the aforementioned sections. Consequently, the Court acquitted the appellants, overturning the High Court's decision.
