Dowry Death - Appeal against conviction - Demands for money were made shortly after one year of the marriage - A she-buffalo was given by the father to the daughter as a peace offering - The peace offering had no effect - The daughter was ill-treated - She went back to her father and demanded money again - The father, then, went along with his brother and the Sarpanch of the village to the matrimonial home with a request that the daughter be not ill-treated on account of the demand for money - The father also assured the said persons that their money demand would be fulfilled and that they would have to wait till the crops of his field are harvested - Fifteen days before her death, bride again visited her parents' house on being maltreated by her new family - Then came death by poisoning - The cross-examination of the father of deceased has, in no manner, shaken his evidence - On the facts, therefore, the concurrent findings recorded by both the courts below upheld.

Indian Penal Code,1860  - Section 304-B

Dowry death - Word "soon before her death" - Held that days or months are not what is to be seen - What must be borne in mind is that the word "soon" does not mean "immediate" - Time lags may differ from case to case - All that is necessary is that the demand for dowry should not be stale but should be the continuing cause for the death of the married woman under Section 304B IPC.
