State of Haryana, 2015 (1) Scale 250, the Apex Court observed "we would prefer to interpret the word 'soon' which finds place in Section 304B, not in terms of days or months or years, but as necessarily indicating that the demand for dowry should not be stale or an aberration of the past, instead it should be a continuing cause for the death under Section 304B IPC or the suicide under Section 306 IPC. Once the presence of these concomitant are proved by the prosecution, even by preponderance of possibility, the initial presumption of innocence is replaced by guilt of the accused, thereby transferring the heavy burden of proof upon him and requiring him to produce evidence dislodging his guilt beyond reasonable doubt".
