MAHESH KUMAR V. STATE OF HARYANA

SC-While setting aside the conviction of the appellant in an appeal against the Punjab & Haraya HC decision, the Hon’ble SC observed that the prosecution failed to prove either the demand of dowry or that any such demand was raised soon before the death of the deceased. Hence, the essential ingredients of offence under Sec. 304-B of IPC were not proved by the prosecution. It even failed to prove the initial presumption under Sec. 113-B of the Evidence Act and the allegations levelled against the appellant beyond reasonable doubt.-Hon'ble Justices L.Nageswara Rao and Hemant Gupta [07-08-2019]
