..Accused No.1 to 3
This Sessions Case is coming before me on 3.10.2011 in the presence of Sri K.Ranga Reddy, Addl. Public Prosecutor for Prosecution and Sri.
Kishan. V.V., Counsel for Accused and now this court delivered the following :
J U D G M E N T
1. The Asst. Commissioner of Police, Malkajgiri Division,
Cyberabad, filed chargesheet against the above accused for the offences committed by the later under section 304B IPC.
2. Brief facts of the prosecution case are as follows :
On 4.2.2006 at 8.45 pm a written complaint was lodged by PW1 stating that his daughter Sunitha was married to A1 on 11.2.2005 with a dowry of Rs.3,00,000/ (rupees three lakhs only), that after two months of her marriage the accused party sent back his daughter to his house for bringing additional dowry, that the complainant talked with the accused, that 2 they demanded Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) additional dowry, that he promised to arrange the same by ensuing Deepavali festival and left his daughter in the house of the accused, that at the time of Deepavali festival he gave Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only), that all the accused refused the said amount. Thereafter he again took his daughter to the house of the accused and left there, that since then all the accused increased their harassment further which was used to be informed by his daughter, that inspite of his assurance the additional dowry amount would be given, the accused did not relent. On 4.2.2006 all the accused killed his daughter. On the basis of the above complaint a case in Crime No.30 of 2006 for the offence under Section 304B IPC was registered by PW7 and took up investigation. Subsequently investigation was taken up by PW9 and PW11 and also by LW16 Asst. Commissioner of Police, Saroornagar Division.
3.During the course of investigation the statements of necessary witnesses were recorded, inquest over the dead body of the deceased was conducted, that the dead body was referred for post mortem examination.
As per the post mortem examination the cause of death of the deceased was due to poisoning was not ruled out. It came to light that on 3.2.2006 the deceased was taken to the hospital because of her illhealth, that again on 4.2.2006 she was taken to Raghavendra Hospital, Kushaiguda where she was declared dead by PW5. It is further stated in the charge sheet there is every reason to believe that the deceased consumed some unknown poison being unable to bear the harassment by A1 to A3 for additional dowry and that there is no other compelling reason or circumstance for the deceased to die in a tragic manner. After the charge sheet is filed, the same was committed to the Hon'ble Metropolitan Sessions Court, Ranga Reddy
District by the Xth Metropolitan Magistrate at Malkajgiri. After registering 3 the charge sheet as Sessions Case the same is made over to this court for trial and disposal.
4.After the accused are present before the court and upon hearing their counsel charges under Sections 498A and 304B IPC are framed. The accused denied the offences alleged. At the trial the prosecution has examined 11 witnesses. PW1 is the defactocomplainant and father of the deceased. PW2 is maternal uncle of the deceased and circumstantial witness. PW3 and PW4 are also other circumstantial witnesses. PW5 is the
Doctor who treated the deceased and declared the deceased died. PW6 is mediator for inquest. PW10 is the Mandal Revenue Officer, Keesara mandal that conducted the inquest over the dead body of the deceased. PW8 is the

D3 are marked.
5. On completion of trial the accused are examined under Section 313 Cr.P.C.
6.They denied evidence against them and stated that they have no defence evidence.
7.Point for determination is whether the Prosecution has
established the guilt of the accused for offences under Sections 498A &
304B IPC beyond all reasonable doubt :
8.PW1 in his chief examination stated that he agreed to give
Rs.3,01,016/ (rupees three lakhs one thousand and sixteen only) towards 4 dowry, that at the time of marriage he gave Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only), that he agreed to give balance amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) at the time of ensuing Deepavali festival, that when he offered an amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) on the said festival day A1 refused to receive said amount on the other hand demanded to give
Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only), that when he could not meet the said demand, A1 left his house leaving amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) offered and took away the deceased along with him, that thereafter he and others went to the house of the accused with the amount of
Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) and requested A1 to A3 to take the amount, that all the three did not talk with him and did not accept to receive the said amount. The witness further stated when his wife went to the houe of the accused on the occasion of Pongal festival the accused refused to send his daughter, that the attempt made by his son to bring the deceased for the said festival did not yield any result, that his daughter used to inform over telephone that she is being harassed by the accused for additional dowry, that on 3.2.2006 she informed about the harassment, that on 4.2.2006 A1 informed him that the deceased suffered from fever, that she was taken to
Raghavendra Hospital in Kushaiguda, that the Doctor informed him the deceased was brought dead to the hospital. In the cross examination the witness stated that he has not stated to the police that he gave Rs.3,01,016/ (rupees three lakhs one thousand and sixteen only) towards dowry at the time of marriage itself marked as Ex.D1.
9. PW2 in his evidence deposed he was present at the time of marriage talks, that an amount of Rs.3,00,000/ (rupees three laksh only) was agreed to be given as dowry, that while taking the bride after marriage to their house, accused raised dispute that sufficient dowry was not given, 5 that he and others stated they will think of giving additional dowry at the time of Deepavali festival, that the deceased informed him by phone that all the accused are beating and harassing her, demanding her to bring dowry, that he, PW1, wife of PW1and others went to the house of the accused with the amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) and when the said amount was offered to A2 he threw away on the ground stating that they demanded Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only) but not Rs.1,,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only). After the above incident the deceased informed him by phone that when she wants to celebrate 1st marriage day the accused beat her and harassed that without giving dowry how she wants to celebrate the marriage day. In the cross examination the witness stated that at the time of betrothal function Rs.50,000/ (rupees fifty thousand only) was given and later the balance amount Rs.3,00,000/ (rupees three lakhs only) was given for house hold articles, etc.
10.PW3 in his evidence stated that Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only) was paid at the time of marriage as dowry and Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) was agreed to be given at the time of Deepavali festival, that the deceased informed by phone to her parents that she is being beaten and abused for Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only), that thereafter he along with PW1 and others went to the house of the accused and convinced accused to give Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only) at the time of
Deepavali festival, that PW1 gave Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) to the accused during the Deepavali festival stating that balance amount will be given later, that, however, he was not present in the village on the festival day, he was told that accused did not accept to receive the amount. In the cross examination the witness admitted that he did not state in his statement to the police as in Ex.D2 i.e. the parents of the deceased agreed and gave 6
Rs.3,01,016/ (rupees three lakhs one thousand and sixteen only) to the accused.
11. PW4 in her evidence stated that she is neighbour to the accused, that the deceased died in hospital, that she has taken for treatment of stomach pain. PW5 in his evidence deposed that the deceased was brought to the hospital on 4.2.2006 at about 10.00 am in a very serious condition with high fever, jaundice and anaemia, that the deceased was gasping, that her B.P. was very low, that while undergoing treatment she died at about 11.45 am, that the deceased died due to cardio pulmonary arrest, he issued
Ex.P2 medical record and Ex.P3 medical certificate. In the cross examination the witness stated that he do not know the cause for the cardio pulmonary arrest in this case. PW6 in his evidence deposed that during the time of inquest he was present, that he found bleeding from the nose of the deceased, that he found a blakish red colour mark around the neck of the deceased, that he signed on the Ex.P4 Inquest conducted by Mandal Revenue
Officer. In the cross examination the witness denied that he did not find any contusion over the neck of the deceased.
12.PW7 in his evidence deposed that on receipt of Ex.P1 complaint from PW1 he registered the same as Crime No.30/2006 under Section 304B
IPC and issued Ex.P5 FIR. He also recorded the statement of PW1. In the cross examination the witness stated that PW1 stated that he agreed to pay
Rs.3,01,016/ (rupees three lakhs one thousand and sixteen only) as dowry as in Ex.D1, that PW1 further stated that he agreed to pay Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) to A1 on Deepavali festival day, that A1 refused to receive the said amount and on the other hand demanded Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only). PW8 in his evidence deposed at the time of post mortem examination he found one abrasion Abrasion on Left Cheek of ½ X ½ cm. in 7
size, another abrasion on lower lip about ½ X ½ cm. in size, another
abrasion on back of chest about 11 cm. X ½ cm.fff on right side, one more
abrasion on back and right side of the abdomen about 1 cm. X ½ cm.,
multiple contusion of neck structure, hyoid and thyroid intact, he sent the viscera to FSL, that the chemical analysis report is negative. All the internal organs showed congestion, suggestive of Hypoxia. Due to insufficient clinical history and post mortem finding no definite opinion regarding cause of death can be given and possibility of death from an unknown poison can not be ruled out unless and otherwise proved contrary. Ex.P6 is Post
Mortem report. Ex.P7 is the opinion of Forensic Doctor. In the cross examination the witness stated that the possibility of death from unknown poison can not be ruled out is imaginary. If a person was suffering from jaundice for over a long time and no proper medical treatment was given there will be possibility of death. Injury No.1 to 4 are possible if a person falls on a hard surface, injury No.5 can be caused due to post mortem.
Again the witness in the reexamination stated all the five injuries are ante mortem injuries. PW9 in his evidence deposed he got conducted inquest over the dead body of the deceased by Mandal Revenue Officer, examined and recorded the statements of necessary witnesses including PW5. In the cross examination he stated that PW2 was not stated in his statement that the accused raised dispute regarding payment of insufficient dowry when the bride and bridegroom were taken after marriage, that he has also not stated that additional amount would be given at the time of Deepavali festival, that it is not stated in the statement of PW2 that the deceased talked to him by telephone and informed that the accused are beating and harassing her, commenting without giving dowry how she wanted to celebrate the marriage day. PW3 stated in his statement as in Ex.D2. PW10 in his evidence 8 deposed that he conducted Inquest over the dead body of the deceased in the presence of PW6 and LW11 Susheela, that the panch witnesses came to the conclusion due to unknown poison the deceased died. Ex.P4 is the Inquest panchanama. In the cross examination the witness stated that at column
No.9 of Ex.P4 that there was bleeding from the nose of the deceased and it was doubted, that a grievous injury was caused to the head of the deceased.
PW11 in his evidence deposed that Ex.P8 is the questionnaire copy from
LW16 Asst. Commissioner of Police to the Doctor and Ex.P9 is the reply by the Doctor. He filed charge sheet on completion of investigation. In the cross examination the witness stated that his investigation reveal that on 3.2.2006 the deceased was taken to the hospital because of illhealth and brought back, that PW1 did not state in his Section 161 Cr.P.C statement that he agreed to give Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) to A1 at the time of
Deepavali festival, that PW3 in his statement stated that the parents of the deceased agreed and gave Rs.3,01,016/ (rupees three lakhs one thousand and sixteen only).
13.The accused in this case are charged with offences under
Sections 304B and 498A IPC. In order to establish the offence under
Section 304B IPC as per the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in Durga
Prasad Vs. State of M.P., it has to be shown that apart from the fact that the woman died on account of burn or bodily injury, otherwise than under normal circumstances, within 7 years of her marriage, it has also to be shown that soon before her death, she was subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or any relative of her husband for, or in connection with, any demand for dowry. In the instant case there is no doubt that the deceased in this case died within 7 years of her marriage. The evidence on record further indicates that there was certain amount of harassment against her by her husband and inlaws in 9 connection with dowry. However, the fact that her death is otherwise than in normal circumstances is not established before the court. As per the evidence of PW7 who was working as Managing Director of Raghavendra
Hospital at ECIL Xroads the deceased Sunitha was brought to the said hospital on 4.2.2006 at about 10.00 am in a very serious condition with the complaint of high fever, jaundice and anaemia. The deceased was further in gasping condition. Her B.P. was very low. He says that she was attended to by the doctors and inspite of their efforts she died at 11.45 am. He further says that the deceased died due to cardio pulmonary arrest. He admitted in the cross examination that he do not know the cause for cardio pulmonary arrest. As per the evidence of PW8 who conducted the PME, the report of the A.P. Forensic Science Laboratory with regard to the Viscera is negative.
He further stated that due to insufficient clinical history and post mortem finding no definite opinion regarding cause of death can be given and possibility of death from unknown poison can not be ruled out unless otherwise proved contrary. With regard to this aspect in the cross examination he stated that the said opinion is imaginary. The word imaginary can also mean his view or thinking. When the chemical analysis report with regard to viscera by APFSL is negative, the possibility of death from unknown poison can be said to be matching with his view. In other words PW8 is also not sure whether the death is due to poisoning or not. It is to be noted by the time the victim was brought to the Raghavendra hospital with the complaints of high fever, jaundice and anaemia, she was gasping for breath. Ex.P2 report indicates that her condition was deteriorating. Ultimately the deceased died of cardio pulmonary arrest as per Ex.P3 certificate issued by PW5. Though the evidence indicate i.e. on the previous day also she was taken to another doctor it is not known on 10 what complaint she was taken to the doctor and as to what is the treatment given to her. Since the PW5 is not able to say as to the reasons for cardio pulmonary arrest and FSL report also do not confirm poisoning, the reasons for the death remained mysterious. The involvement of the accused in the death of the deceased is not established. Whether it is suicidal death or homicidal death is also not established. With meagre evidence on record, the court is not able to find out the accused are responsible for the death of the decease. The reasons stated by the learned counsel for the accused that the death of the deceased is under normal circumstances are not convincing.
Since the burden is on the prosecution and the same is not discharged properly the accused are only entitled for the benefit of doubt with regard to the offence under Section 304B IPC.
14. Coming to the offence under Section 498A IPC, the ingredients in the said offence can be said to be established. The evidence of the defacto complaint i.e. the father of the deceased goes to show that he agreed to give
Rs.3,01,016/ (rupees three lakhs one thousand and sixteen only) towards dowry, that at the time of marriage he has given Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only), that he agreed to give balance amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) at the time of ensuing Deepavali festival, that accordingly he offered the said amount during Deepavali festival, that A1 refused to receive the amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) offered but on the other hand demanded Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only), that when he could not satisfy the demand for Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only) A1 left the house without receiving the amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only).
As per his further evidence he took PW3, LW4 Kontham Swamy, LW3 C.
Balaiah and women folk to the house of accused to convince them to receive the amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only). When they had gone A1 11 to A3 did not talk with PW1 and others and did not accept to receive the amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only). Hence all of them returned back to their village. As per the evidence of PW2 there is a small difference in the version. PW2 says that the entire amount of Rs.3,00,000/ (rupees three lakhs only) was given at the time of marriage itself, that while leaving after the marriage the accused raised a dispute that insufficient dowry was given. He further says that as the deceased Sunitha informed over phone that all the accused are harassing and beating her with regard to the demand of dowry, PW1 and others went to the house of the accused with the amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) and tried to convince the accused to receive the said amount and when it was offered to A2 at the house of the accused A2 has thrown it on the ground and demanded for Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only). The evidence of PW3 however shows that out of the agreed amount of Rs.3,00,000/ (rupees three lakhs only) Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only) was given at the time of marriage and the balance amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) was agreed to be given at the time of ensuing Deepavali festival, that when the deceased Sunitha informed them about the demand of accused for Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only), an amount of Rs.1,00,000/ (rupees one lakh only) was offered to the accused on Deepavali festival day and the same was refused. It is also true that as per Ex.P1 complaint the entire amount of Rs.3,00,000/ (rupees three lakhs only) was given at the time of marriage itself. However in the said complaint it is further stated that after two months of the marriage the deceased Sunitha was sent to the house of her parents for additional dowry, that when PW1 thereupon talked with the accused that they demanded
additional dowry of Rs.2,00,000/ (rupees two lakhs only). It is no doubt
true there are variations with regard to the total amount of dowry offered and 12 paid at the time of the marriage in the evidence of these three witnesses. But the thread is not missing i.e. there is demand on the part of the accused for
additional dowry. At this juncture it is important to note that the reply given
by PW1 during cross examination to one of the questions is relevant i.e. after the complaint is filed with the police, the accused paid Rs.3,00,000/ (rupees three lakhs only) to him. This reply by PW1 itself proves sufficient to say that there is demand from the accused for dowry. The contention of the learned counsel for the accused that since there are variations with regard to the amount in the alleged dowry between the three witnesses their evidence amounts to prevaricative statements can not be accepted by the court for the reason that there is a time gap of five years from the date of marriage of the deceased to the date of deposing by the witnesses before the court. Further the witnesses are not educated persons, they can be said to be village rustics. As such such variations may occur in the evidence of such witnesses and especially due to time lag. It is also true that the witnesses have stated some thing more than what they have stated before police in their Section 161 Cr.P.C statements. They can be said to be developments over what they have stated in their respective S.161 Cr.P.C statements. But it is to be noted they are not exaggerations, leaving the basic point itself. Since the victim died as stated above in mysterious circumstances, it is only the evidence of her close relatives that is available for scrutiny with regard to the establishment of offence under Section 498A IPC. In Ex.P1 complaint itself the defacto complainant (PW1) stated that his deceased daughter informed them about the harassment for additional dowry on number of occasions and he and others assured A2 and A3 that the same will be paid.
PW1 in his cross examination deposed that his deceased daughter used to inform him over telephone that she is being harassed for additional dowry at 13 her inlaws house. PW2 is maternal uncle of the deceased. He also deposed that the deceased Sunitha informed him over phone that all the accused are beating and harassing her demanding to bring dowry. It is to be noted here that a married girl would inform her travails and turbulances in her post married life at her inlaws place only to her parents and other closest relatives. She can not be expected to share such information with other than close relatives. It is to be stated her that with the advent of liberalisation sending of communications by phone has become more common in contrast to by way of letters which was more prevalent during preliberalisation era.
As such the communications made over phone to the close relatives has to be taken into account and evidentiary value has to be attached to such communications. In that back drop the evidence of PW1 and PW2 clearly indicate that there is harassment and it is for additional dowry on the deceased Sunitha by all the accused.
15.It this connection the evidence of PW1 and others is corroborating. PW1 in his evidence deposed that when he offered
Rs.1,00,000/ at the time of Deepavali festival A1 refused to receive the said amount and on the other hand demanded Rs.2,00,000/. He next stated that
A1 left his house leaving the amount of Rs.1,00,000/ and went away to his village. The next point is that when PW1, PW2 and others went to the house of the accused to convince the latter to receive the amount of Rs.1,00,000/, all the three accused did not talk with them and rejected their request to receive the amount of Rs.1,00,000/. The demand of the accused for
Rs.2,00,000/ additional dowry was also stated in the Section 161 Cr.P.C statement of PW1. He further stated in that statement when the amount of
Rs.1,00,000/ was offered during Deepavali festival the accused refused to receive the same and went away.
14
16.PW2 the maternal uncle of the deceased deposed that when he,
PW1 and others went to the house of the accused and offered the amount of
Rs.1,00,000/ A2 threw the said amount on the ground stating that they demanded Rs.2,00,000/. The demand of additional dowry of Rs.2,00,000/ by all the accused is also stated in his S.161 Cr.P.C statement by these witnesses. PW3 also deposed to the extent of additional demand of
Rs.2,00,000/ by the accused. He fairly conceded that he was not present on
Deepavali festival day, that he came to know that PW1 offered Rs.1,00,000/ during the Deepavali festival and that the accused refused to receive the said amount. The evidence of the above three witnesses and especially PW1 and
PW2 clearly establishes that there was demand for additional dowry by the accused and when PW1 offered Rs.1,00,000/ all the accused refused to receive the said amount. The next point is that PW1 deposed that when he sent his wife to the house of the accused to bring their deceased daughter on the occasion of Pongal festival the accused refused to send her. This point is also stated by PW1 in the course of his Sec.161 Cr.P.C statement.
17.The next point is that though it is not stated with dates PW1 in his Sec.161 Cr.P.C statement stated that his deceased daughter used to inform by phone regarding the harassment meted out to her by the accused. In his evidence also he deposed that his deceased daughter used to inform by phone that she is being harassed in the house of the accused on the ground of dowry. Similarly there are other points in the evidence of PW2 and PW3 tallying their Sec.161 Cr.P.C statements broadly.
18.As already stated there are variations inter alia between the evidence of PW1 to 3 with regard to the amount of dowry initially agreed to be paid, actually paid during the time of marriage, agreed to be paid during ensuing Deepavali festival. A careful reading of the evidence of these three 15 witnesses goes to show that there is demand of dowry at the time of marriage, demand for additional dowry subsequently, attempt of the parents of the deceased to partially meet the said demand of the accused. The above said behaviour of A1 to A3 clearly amounts to harassment for additional dowry. The variations in the evidence of PW1 to 3 does not take away the punch in the prosecution case. The evidence of PW1 and PW2 especially indicates the harassment suffered by the deceased Sunitha in the hands of all the accused at various points of time on the ground of additional dowry.
Therefore, the court is of the opinion that the ingredients of the offence under Section 498A IPC alone are satisfied against A1 to A3.
19. In the result A1 to A3 are acquitted under Section 235(1) Cr.P.C for offence under Section 304B IPC. But A1 to A3 are convicted under
Section 235(2) Cr.P.C.
20.The accused are informed about the order of acquittal and conviction under the above two sections respectively. They are questioned to state with regard to the quantum of sentence for offence under Section 498A
IPC.
21.A1 stated that his parents are suffering from diabetes and heart complaint, that he has to look after his parents, that as such he may be excused and taken a lenient view. A2 stated that he is suffering from diabetes and heart complaint, that he is taking medicines and as such he may be excused or a lenient view may be taken. A3 stated that she is suffering from diabetes, that she may be excused or a lenient view may be taken. The court has perused the record. There are no mitigating circumstances to take a lenient view against the accused in view of cogent and convincing evidence, that the suffering of A2 and A3 due to diabetes and B.P / heart complaint and their taking medicines is not a sufficient and 16 justifiable ground to take a lenient view. The court is therefore of the opinion that all the three accused reserve to be sentenced to suffer Simple
Imprisonment for a period of three years each and to pay fine of Rs.1,000/ (rupees one thousand only) each in default to suffer S.I for three months each. The period of judicial custody if any during crime stage shall be deducted from the total period of substantive sentence. They are accordingly sentenced.
Dictated to Personal Assistant, corrected and pronounced by
me in the open court on this the 3 rd day of October, 2011.
