Headnote | Penal Code, 1860 - ss. 304-B and 498-A - Dowry death - Prosecution against husband and parents-in-law (the appellants) of the deceased - Conviction by Courts below - Appeal by the parents-in-law - Held: The act of the appellants indicate their guilty state of mind - Hence cannot escape liability for causing death of the deceased - Plea of alibi by one of the accused also not proved.Dismissing the appeal, the Court HELD: 1. The fact that the accused persons were found missing from the house and also the fact that they refrained from intimating the death of the deceased to her parents are two strong facts which indicate the guilty state of mind of the appellants, who cannot escape liability for causing death of the deceased while at the matrimonial house. The legal accountability for the well- being of a bride squarely lies upon her husband and other members of his parental family, who are joint in mess and residence, with the couple. There is no evidence to prove that the deceased and her husband were separate in mess and residence from the other accused persons. [Para 10] [7-C-F]2. Appellant No.1 though has tried to raise a plea of alibi by pleading that he was in employment elsewhere, he did not adduce any evidence to prove that he was at his place of job at the relevant point of time.
