41. Further, he has relied upon Ranjit Singh Vs. State of Punjab, 2013(12) SCC 333, in which death of the deceased occurred within four months of marriage by throttling/strangulation and it was found on the basis of evidence that the deceased was subjected to cruelty soon before her death for demand of dowry and presumption under Section 113-B of the Evidence Act was held to have been drawn rightly. The court below had sentenced the appellant to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life under Section 304B IPC but considering the facts and circumstances that after death of first wife (the victim of dowry death in the present case) appellant got married second time and from his second wife, he had three children, out of which one son was handicapped and the appellant's mother was paralyzed, sentence was reduced to seven years rigorous imprisonment.
