As per case facts, the complainant's daughter married Gurdial Singh, and dowry was given. Later, Gurdial Singh and his mother, Amar Kaur, harassed the daughter for more dowry, including cash ... and a fridge. The complainant provided some cash, but demands continued. Soon after, the daughter died by poisoning, and her in-laws fled. The FIR was registered under Section 304-B IPC, and the trial court convicted both accused. The appellants appealed, contending that the conviction was unsound, relying on family witnesses without independent corroboration, and dowry allegations were baseless. Amar Kaur, the mother-in-law, specifically highlighted her age and lack of specific allegations. The question arose whether the ingredients for dowry death under Section 304-B IPC and the presumption under Section 113B of the Indian Evidence Act were met, particularly concerning the 'soon before' aspect of cruelty. Finally, the High Court found convincing evidence of continuous dowry maltreatment leading to the unnatural death. It upheld the husband's conviction, Gurdial Singh @ Bittu, under Section 304-B IPC, but acquitted Amar Kaur due to insufficient specific attribution and gave her the benefit of doubt. The husband's sentence was suspended.
