Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 304B, 498A, and 201 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court reiterated that for a conviction under Section 304B IPC, it must be established that the deceased was subjected to cruelty in connection with dowry demands, leading to her unnatural death. The Court also addressed the plea of juvenility of one of the appellants but ultimately did not alter the sentence imposed by the lower courts.
