As per case facts, Sunita married Jal Singh on 21.05.2002 and died unnaturally on 10.11.2002 from consuming poison. Her father complained that Sunita was mentally and physically tortured for dowry ... by her husband and in-laws, who demanded a motorcycle, fridge, and television. The accused were charged under Sections 304-B and 498-A IPC. The appellants appealed against their conviction, arguing that prosecution evidence was untrustworthy, witnesses were interested, and their defense—that Sunita consumed poison after an altercation between her husband and mother-in-law, which led to her husband also consuming poison—was ignored. The question arose whether the prosecution successfully proved dowry death and cruelty, establishing harassment for dowry soon before death, and if the presumption under Section 113B of the Evidence Act applied and was rebutted. Finally, the High Court found the conviction justified, noting consistent testimonies of parents regarding dowry harassment and the falsification of the defense's version by medical evidence and their own witness. The court applied the presumption of dowry death as the appellants failed to rebut it, upholding the conviction but setting aside the fine under Section 304-B IPC.
