Criminal Law and the Acquittal of Accused For "Dowry Death" under S. 304B of IPC 

There are many cases where websites or media outlets and even prosecution fees that someone has committed a crime under S.304B of IPC. However, that does not mean that such views of websites/media outlets/prosecution would lead to a conclusion that such person who is portrayed as such in media is an actual criminal.

In case of Major Singh v. State of Punjab [2015] GCtR 6676 (SC) accused was acquitted of offence under S.304B of IPC.

This case involved allegations of harassment in connection with dowry ; in that case, father of victim even alleged that he saw accused are dragging the victim after giving poison ; the victim had died due to poisoning. The accused argued that brother and father of victim are interested witness and therefore, unreliable ; ultimately, accused persons were able to secure acquittal.
