Rajeev Kumar vs State Of Haryana on 31 October, 2013
35. This Court while often dwelling on the scope
and purport of Section 304B of the Code and Section
113B of the Act have propounded that the presumption is
contingent on the fact that the prosecution first spell out
the ingredients of the offence of Section 304B as in
Shindo alias Sawinder Kaur and another v. State of
Punjab - (2011) 11 SCC 517 : (2011 AIR SCW 6556) and
echoed in Rajeev Kumar v. State of Haryana - (2013) 16
SCC 640 : (AIR 2014 SC 227). In the latter
pronouncement, this Court propounded that one of the
essential ingredients of dowry death under Section 304B
of the Code is that the accused must have subjected the
woman to cruelty in connection with demand for dowry
soon before her death and that this ingredient has to be
proved by the prosecution beyond reasonable doubt and
only then the Court will presume that the accused has
committed the offence of dowry death under Section 113B
of the Act.
