Headnote | Penal Code, 1860: ss. 3048, 498A - Dowry death -Allegation that sister-in-law and mother-in-law of the victim deceased poured kerosene on her and lit fire as she could not satisfy their demand for dowry - Dying declarations recorded by the police officer and the Magistrate - Trial court did not find dying declarations reliable for the reason that the deceased had suffered 100% burn injuries and would not have been in a position to give dying declarations - Order of acquittal - High Court endorsed the view of trial court that both the dying declarations were not reliable, however, relying on the evidence of father of the deceased held that the demand for dowry soon before the death had been made and as the death was unnatural, the ingredients of s.3048 were spelt against the accused - Conviction - On appeal, held: In statement made u/s.161, Cr.P.C., the father of the deceased admitted that allegation of dowry demand was not made by him - Improvement made in his evidence in court clearly spelt out a case of doubt with regard to the veracity of his evidence - There was no reference whatsoever to the accused-appellants either to demand of dowry or their involvement in any manner - The doctor who gave fitness certificate to the deceased for making statement was not cited as a prosecution witness - The evidence of the doctor (who gave post mortem report) was general in nature with regard to the capacity of 100% burnt victim to make a statement.No doubt, death was unnatural and had taken place within seven years of the marriage but the third ingredient of dowry demand soon before the death was not proved - In this view of the matter, the presumption u/-s. 1138 of the Evidence Act could not be raised - Conviction set aside - Evidence Act, 1872 - s.1138. |
