Section 304-B IPC | Suicidal Note Without Dowry Allegations & Lack of Forensic Evidence Bar Conviction: Chhattisgarh HC Acquits Accused
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that the absence of dowry demands in a suicidal note, coupled with inconsistent testimonies and no forensic evidence, fails to meet the burden of proof under Section 304-B IPC. The judgment underscores that mere harassment allegations without proximate dowry-related cruelty are insufficient for conviction in dowry death cases.
