Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision to dismiss the appellants' Criminal Revision Application No. 536 of 2024, affirming that a prima facie case under Sections 306, 498A, and 114 of the IPC was established. The Court clarified that at the charge framing stage, the prosecution's evidence must only disclose a strong suspicion of the accused's involvement in the alleged offences, without requiring a detailed evaluation of evidence. The Court found sufficient material indicating that the deceased faced consistent harassment from the appellants, contributing to her suicide.
