K.V. Prakash Babu vs State Of Karnataka

The Supreme Court addressed the case involving the appellant-husband convicted under Section 498-A IPC and Section 306 IPC, following the suicide of his wife, Anjanamma, allegedly due to his extramarital affair. The Court found that the evidence did not support the conviction under Section 498-A, leading to its annulment, but upheld the conviction under Section 306 IPC, emphasizing the husband's role in creating a situation that led to the wife's suicide. The Court ultimately sentenced the appellant to four years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 50,000, payable to the victim's father.
