Sunil Dutt Sharma vs State (Govt.Of Nct Of Delhi) on 8 October, 2013
42. We find that the case of the appellant, Asha Ram is fully covered by the law relied upon by the learned counsel for the appellant in Sunil Dutt Sharma Vs. State (Govt. of NCT of Delhi), SCC 2014 4 375 and other two cases mentioned above because in the case at hand there were three accused in the house when the deceased was found to have been strangulated, hence, it could not be identified as to who out of these three persons was responsible for causing her death and the conviction has been made with the aid of presumption drawn under Section 113-B of Evidence Act as the unnatural death has occurred within seven years of the marriage. Moreover in this case, learned trial court has not framed charge against the accused appellants under Section 302 I.P.C. There does not appear any serious injury caused to the deceased before her death as only minor injuries are found on her person, therefore, we deem it proper that it would be appropriate to reduce the punishment of appellant, Asha Ram under Section 304-B I.P.C. from life imprisonment to ten years Rigorous Imprisonment and we find that the learned trial court has awarded the punishment on the higher side. As regards the other appellants, namely Jhabbu Lal who is father-in-law and Smt. Seema who is mother-in-law of the deceased, the minimum punishment is awarded i.e 7 years rigorous imprisonment each and fine with default clause, the same seems to be justified.
