The mere fact that the woman cried could not do a case of harassment, said the High Court in Delhi and rejected the petition against the release of the husband and his family of charging and harassing the dowry.
According to criminal prosecution, in December 2010, the woman faced harassment and the required dowry from her husband and sister -in -law.
Her family claimed they almost spent £4 Lakh at the wedding and claims that they later demanded a motorcycle, cash and gold bracelet husband and sister -in -law.
Woman, mother of two daughters, died 31 March 2014.
“Only crying on a woman can’t …”
“The statement of sister’s sister, according to section 161 Cr.PC, was recorded, where she also said that she had called her sister on the occasion of the Hol and found her crying. Only because she cried, she couldn’t think of any harassment case,” Judge Neena Bansal Krishna said.
She also noted that the father of a woman had neither mentioned specific incidents, nor did he provide evidence that he would provide money to the accused.
“Such bare statements, in a given situation, cannot be considered to even show Prima facie the case of harassment,” the judge added.
Death because of natural causes
The Court of Justice released the defendant knowing that death occurred as a result of pneumonia, a natural cause.
The High Court also stressed that the Mort report attributed the cause of the death of pneumonia, not cruelty.
“In the present case, in order to bring a clause of the cruelty leading to the death of a woman, it should be noted that the deceased died for any cruelty, but for natural reasons … Therefore clause a) is therefore not attracted to a court.
