Escaped by a thread from conviction under IPC 304B - Suicide of wife within 7 years of marriage - Supreme Court of India
Law is clear. If suicide of wife due to cruelty happens within 7 years of marriage, conviction of 10 years jail under 304B.
In this case date of marriage was not proved. So conviction under 304B was set aside but conviction for cruelty was maintained by Supreme Court
