Headnote | Penal Code, 1860: s.3048 - Dowry death - Deceased ~ allegedly tortured by husband in connection with demand of dowry - Dead body of deceased found hanging from ceiling fan - Acquittal by trial court - Conviction by High Court - Appeal against conviction - Held: High Court analysed evidence of witnesses keeping in view parameters relating to scope of interference with judgment of acquittal - No infirmity in order of High Court so as to warrant interference - Conviction upheld - Crime against women. Prosecution case was that deceased was ill treated by her husband and his parents, in connection with demand of dowry. On fateful day, father of deceased was informed that his daughter was killed by accused by strangulation. He went to the house of accused where dead body of deceased was found hanging from the ceiling fan. Case was registered against appellant husband and his parents. The trial court found that evidence was insufficient to fasten the guilt on the accused. On appeal, High Court held that the co-accused, who were parents of appellant were staying separately and, therefore, there was doubt about their participation in the commission of the offence, but found the appellant guilty of offence punishable under Section 304-B-IPC and sentenced him to suffer rigorous imprisonment for seven years. Hence the present appeal. |
