Summary of appellate court arguments.
Defense:
ISSUE2: The appellant is not guilty under Section 304 B, and thus, the trial court order
should be quashed.
The appellant is not guilty of dowry death under Section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code
and the complaint is frivolous since the elements under the apparent section have not
been fulfilled. No cruelty or harassment was subjugated on the victim soon before her
death. The presumption of dowry death under section 113 B of the Evidence Act has also
not been fulfilled. Thus, the trial court order deserves to be quashed in order to forward
justice.
