The Supreme Court made strong remarks on Friday during the hearing of a case related to dowry harassment. The bench of Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan said that the insult to the daughter-in-law and her family by the boy and his family should be stopped. The court said that such a message should be sent that insult to the daughter-in-law and her family will not be tolerated. The case is related to the death of a woman in Chhattisgarh in 2010. The woman died by hanging in her in-laws’ house within three years of her marriage. According to the prosecution, there were continuous demands for dowry from the husband and his family and she was being harassed. The girl’s family was being called beggars. During the hearing, Justice Nagarathna said, “The only effort is to extract more money from the daughter-in-law and her family.” Referring to the allegations on record, Justice Nagarathna said, “What did the boys say? You people are beggars, can’t give money. The girl’s family was trying to save their daughter and they were being called beggars.” When the petitioner’s lawyer tried to reply, Justice Nagarathna said, “You should have remained silent. The girl’s father had said that he could give Rs 60,000 and you are calling him a beggar?” The Supreme Court was hearing the petition of the husband’s younger brother. He had challenged the conviction under IPC section 498A (cruelty and torture). The court refused to grant relief and dismissed the appeal. The court accepted that the demand for dowry was directly related to the death of the woman. The High Court had also upheld the decision of the trial court. On this basis, many members of the husband’s family were convicted under the sections of dowry death, abetment to suicide and cruelty and torture. Chhattisgarh High Court had also upheld the decision of the trial court. The issue of delay in registering the FIR was also raised by the petitioner. But the court did not accept this argument. The court said, “The message should be sent. Daughters-in-law are treated like this.” During the hearing, Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan said, “These are educated people.” The Supreme Court ultimately dismissed the appeal, accepting the findings of the trial court and the High Court as correct. The case is related to Suchit Keshari vs State of Chhattisgarh. ——————————— Also read this news: Cockroach Janata Party’s Deepke has challenged the blocking of CJP’s X account.
