As per case facts, a telephonic message led to suspicion that Baljit Kaur was killed by her husband Balwant Singh and father-in-law Harbans Singh. Baljit Kaur married Balwant Singh in ... 2000. After a year, her husband and father-in-law allegedly harassed her for dowry, demanding a scooter and later cash for a poultry farm. She informed her family, and her father brought her home. After a Panchayat, she returned to her matrimonial home, but harassment for cash resumed. She died an unnatural death by consuming poison in 2001. Harbans Singh was acquitted, but Balwant Singh was convicted under Section 304-B IPC and sentenced to ten years rigorous imprisonment by the Sessions Judge. The appeal was filed against this conviction. The question arose whether the trial court rightly found evidence of continuous dowry demand and cruelty leading to an unnatural death soon after marriage, establishing guilt under Section 304-B IPC and the presumption under Section 113-B of the Indian Evidence Act, and whether the appellant's defense of depression or the nature of demands was valid. Finally, the High Court found ample evidence of continuous harassment for dowry and maltreatment, leading to the victim's unnatural death within a short period of marriage. It held that the appellant failed to rebut the legal presumption and dismissed the appeal, upholding the conviction and sentence.
