| DB acquits husband in dowry death case | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 6: A Division Bench of State High Court Comprising Justice Bansi Lal Bhat and Justice BS Walia upheld the judgment of Trial Court whereby Trial Court acquitted husband Raja Rehbar from facing trial in dowry death case. Allegedly, the accused set ablaze his wife Sanam Ara. It happened on 07.08.2008 at Kotli, Tehsil Bhaderwah in matrimonial home of deceased Sanam Ara who sustained 50 per cent deep burn injuries on her body after the accused allegedly sprinkled petrol on her body and lighted a lighter to set her on fire. The deceased was removed to Bhadarwah Hospital from where she was referred to SMHS Hospital Srinagar where she breathed her last after one month and nineteen days. Allegedly, deceased was married to accused barely one year before the incident and the accused used to harass the deceased by putting up demands of cash and a vehicle. Parents of accused too were alleged to have made similar demands resulting in harassment of deceased. After completion of investigation challan was presented.
A Division Bench after hearing Deputy AG RS Durswal appearing for the state observed that on a careful scrutiny of the impugned judgment, this Court find no substantial and compelling reasons to depart from the finding recording by trial Court. In our considered opinion, no contrary view is possible on evidence brought on record during trial. The evidence recorded by trial Court cannot be termed erroneous, much less perverse. No legal infirmity on wrong appreciation of evidence is brought to our notice. With these observations Division Bench upheld the acquittal of the accused. (JNF) |
