Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 498A, 306, 201, and 114 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court established that the evidence supported the finding of cruelty and abetment of suicide, as the deceased faced continuous harassment and was driven to take her own life. The sentences imposed included five years for the first appellant and three years for the others, all to run concurrently, with fines imposed as well.
