Sau. Manda R. Thaore W/O Sh. Ramaji Ghanshyam Thaore Vs. Sh. Ramaji Ghanshyam Thaore - Court Judgment

Excerpt:
- what remains to be seen is as to whether pinki died an un-natural death within seven years of her marriage and whether her death was attributable to the demand of dowry and further whether she was dealt with cruelty soon before her death. if these ingredients are proved by the prosecution then the conviction of the accused under section 304b, ipc will be complete.[para 9] the question is, in the absence of corpus delicti, could it be presumed that the accused persons alone were responsible for the death of pinki. we must hasten to add here that the accused persons have already been acquitted of the murder charge. [para 9] it is clear that pinki's death was caused because of the burns and not in the normal circumstances. the finding of the trial court and the appellate court in that.....order(i) criminal revision application no. 317/2006 is dismissed.(ii) respondent is directed to pay costs of rs. 15,000/- (rupees fifteen thousand only) to the applicant - manda within a period of four weeks from today, failing which the same shall be recovered by the family court by adopting procedure for recovery of fines.
